5. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Mansur ibn Yunus from abu Bakr al-Hadrami from abu Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following.
“the Messenger of Allah made Ali (a.s.) learn a thousand letters of which each one opens a thousand letters.”
5ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
عَلَّمَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَلِيّاً (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَلْفَ حَرْفٍ كُلُّ حَرْفٍ يَفْتَحُ أَلْفَ حَرْفٍ.
