Hadith 1257
۞
28-19 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad and Abdullah - the sons of Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Hisham ibn Salim, on the authority of Abi Hamzih al-Somali, on the authority of Abi Ishaq al-Sabi’e, on the authority of one of the trustworthy companions of the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) that he had heard Ali (MGB) say, “
There is a lot of knowledge in my heart which God’s Prophet (MGB) has taught me. I would have taught it to others if I could have found people who were trustworthy enough. I would have taught them so that they may acquire some knowledge since this knowledge is the key to every gate and each gate opens up to another thousand gates.”
28-19 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله قال: حدثني أحمد وعبد الله ابنا محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن هشام بن سالم، عن أبي حمزة الثمالي، عن أبي إسحاق السبيعى قال
سمعت بعض أصحاب أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام ممن يثق به قال: سمعت عليا عليه السلام يقول: إن في صدري هذا لعلما جما علمنيه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله، لو أجد له حفظة يرعونه حق رعايته ويروونه كما يسمعونه مني إذا لاودعتهم بعضه، فعلم به كثيرا من العلم، إن العلم مفتاح كل باب، وكل باب يفتح ألف باب
