from Sadir who has said that he, abu Basir, Yahya al-Bazzaz and Dawud ibn Kathir were in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah (a.s). The Imam (a.s) came to us while he was angry. When he settled in his seat he then said, “How strange is it that certain people think we know the hidden facts. No one knows the hidden things except Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. I thought to discipline our house maid, so and so, and could not find in which quarter she was.” Sadir has said, “When the meeting was over and the Imam (a.s) went home, I, abu Basir and Muyassir went to his house. We said to him, “May Allah take our souls in service for your cause, we heard you say so and so about the matter of your house maid but we know that you have a great deal of knowledge. We do not say that you possess the knowledge of (al-Ghayb) hidden facts.” The narrator has said that the Imam (a.s) said, “O Sadir, Do you not read the Holy Quran?” I said, “Yes, I do read the Holy Quran.” The Imam (a.s) then asked, “In your reading have you found the following words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High? “The one who had knowledge from the Book said, “I can bring it to you before you even blink your eye. . .” (27:40) The narrator has said that he said that he has read those words. The Imam (a.s) asked, “Do you know who the man is? Do you know how much knowledge of the Book he had?” The narrator has said that he asked the Imams (a.s) “Please tell me about his knowledge.” The Imam (a.s) said, “His knowledge of the Book was like one drop compared to the green ocean (Atlantic). The narrator has said that he said, “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, that is very little..” The Imam (a.s) then said, “O Sadir, say, “What a great knowledge is that when Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, would ascribe to a knowledge that I am about to speak of to you. Have you found in the book of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, the following. “Say, “God and those who have the knowledge of the Book are sufficient witness (to my prophethood).” (13:43) The narrator has said that he said to the Imams (a.s), “Yes. “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, I have read it.” The Imam (a.s) then said, “Is the knowledge of one who possesses the knowledge of the whole book greater or that of the one who possesses some knowledge of the Book?” I said, “The knowledge of one who possesses the knolwedge of the whole book is greater.” The narrator has said that the Imam (a.s) pointing to his chest said, “The knowledge of the whole Book, I swear by Allah, is with us. The knowledge of the whole Book, I swear by Allah, is with us.”

Mu’ammar ibn Khallad who has said that a man from Persia asked abu al-Hassan (a.s) the following. “Do you know al-Ghayb (the hidden facts)?” The Imam (a.s) said, “abu Ja‘far (a.s) has said, ‘It opens to us then we know it and it is withheld from us then we do not know.” The Imam (a.s) then said, “It is the secret of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, who has secretly given to Jibril and Jibril has secretly given to Muhammad (s.a.) and Muhammad (s.a.) has secretly given to whoever Allah wished.”

from Sulayman, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (peace be upon him), and said: "May I be your ransom! I have heard you say more than once, 'If we were not granted increase, we would run out.'" He said: "As for [halal] (lawful) and [haram] (unlawful), by Allah, He revealed it in its entirety to His Prophet, and the [imam] is not granted any increase in what is [halal] or [haram]." I said: "Then what is this increase?" He replied: "In all matters other than [halal] and [haram]." I asked: "Is anything added to you that was hidden from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family)?" He said: "No! Rather, the command comes from Allah, and the angel brings it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), who then says, 'O Muhammad, your Lord commands you to do such and such.' So he (the Prophet) says, 'Take it to Ali.' Then it is taken to Ali (peace be upon him), and he says, 'Take it to Hasan.' Then it is taken to Husayn. And it continues like this, one after another, until it reaches us." I asked: "Is anything added to you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did not know?" He said: "Woe to you! How can it be possible for an [imam] to know something that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and the [imam] before him did not know?"

he with a group of Shi‘a were in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah (a.s) in Hijr and the Imam (a.s) said the following. “An eye is watching over us.” We then looked right and left and did not see anyone. We said, “No eye is watching over us.” The Imam (a.s) said, “I swear by the Lord of the Ka‘ba. I swear by the Lord of the House.” He said so three times. “Had I been with Moses and al-Khidr I would have told them that I had more than they did and would have informed them of what they had no knowledge. This is because Moses and al-Khidr were given the knowledge of what was in the past and they were given the knowledge what will be in future or what will exist up to the Day of Judgment while we have inherited all of them from the Messenger of Allah as heirs.”
