28-28 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father, Muhammad ibn al-Hassan and Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar - may God be pleased with them - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Sandi ibn al-Muhammad al-Baz’zaz, on the authority of Safvan ibn Yahya, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Bashir, on the authority of his father Bashir al-Dahan that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said,

“When God’s Prophet (MGB) was so ill that he (MGB) was about to die, he (MGB) said, ‘Call my friend in.’ The two wives of the Prophet (MGB) sent someone after their fathers, i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar. However, when the Prophet (MGB) saw them, he turned his face around and said, “Call in my friend. They sent someone after Ali (MGB). When Ali (MGB) came in, He faced Ali (MGB) and conversed with him. When Ali (MGB) came out, these two persons (i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar) asked Ali (MGB), “What did he (MGB) tell you?” Ali (MGB) said, “He (MGB) told me the gates which open to one-thousand gates. Each gate opens up to one-thousand gates.”
