Hadith 1256
۞
28-18 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa and Abdullah ibn Amer ibn Sa’ed, on the authority of Abdul Rahman ibn Abi Najran, on the authority of Safvan ibn Yahya, on the authority of Bashir al-Dahan that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “
When the Prophet (MGB) was so ill that he (MGB) was about to die, he asked for Ali (MGB) and once Ali (MGB) came in, the Prophet (MGB) whispered things in his ears. When Ali (MGB) came out, they (i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar) asked Ali (MGB), “What did your friend (MGB) tell you?” Ali (MGB) said, “He taught me one gate which opens up to one-thousand gates each of which opens up to another one-thousand gates.”
28-18 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله قال: حدثنا أحمد ابن محمد بن عيسى، وعبد الله بن عامر بن سعد، عن عبدالرحمن بن أبي نجران، عن صفوان بن يحيى، عن بشير الدهان، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
لما مرض رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله مرضه الذي توفي فيه بعث إلى علي عليه السلام فلما جاء أكب عليه فلم يزل يحدثه ويحدثه، فلما خرج لقياه وقالا له: بما حدثك صاحبك؟ فقال: حدثني بباب يفتح ألف باب، كل باب منها يفتح ألف باب
