Hadith 681
۞
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ibn ’Udhayna from ‘Abdallah ibn Sulayman from Humran ibn A‘yan from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following.
“Once Jibril came to the Messenger of Allah and brought him two pieces of pomegranates. The Messenger of Allah ate one of them and broke the other one into two pieces. He then ate one half and fed the other half to Ali (a.s.). The Messenger of Allah said, “O my brother, do you know what those pieces of pomegranates were?” He said, “No, I do not know.” He then said, “The first one was prophet-hood. There is no share in it for you. The other one is knowledge in which you’re my partner.” I then said, “May Allah keep you well, how was that?” He would be his partner in it?” He said, “Allah did not teach any knowledge but that He commanded him to teach it to Ali (a.s.).”
