28-30 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father, Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad al-Walid and Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar - may God be pleased with them - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Muhammad ibn al-Hussein ibn Abil-Khat’tab, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali Fazzal, on the authority of Ali ibn Aqabah, on the authorityof Al-Harith ibn al-Muqayrih that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said,

“When the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) buried Fatimah (MGB), Abu Bakr and Umar went to see him. During a long speech he (MGB) told them, “Considering your complaint concerning why I did not call you in for the task of the ritual ablutions of the dead (ghusl) for the Prophet (MGB), I should tell you that the Prophet (MGB) had told me that except for me whoever sees the Prophets (MGB) private parts would become blind. That is why I did not inform you. However, the reason I put my head near his ear was because the Prophet (MGB) taught me one-thousand letters each of which would explain one-thousand other letters. Since this was a Prophetic secret, I did not want you to become informed about it.”
