28-32 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father, Muhammad ibn al-Hassan and Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar - may God be pleased with them - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Ali ibn al-Hikam, on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Hamzih, on the authority of Abi Basir that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “
There was a booklet in the cover of the sword of God’s Prophet (MGB).”Abi Basir asked Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), “What was written in that booklet?” The Imam (MGB) replied, “There were letters each of which opened up to one-thousand letters.”Abi Basir added, “Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “Only the interpretation of two of those letters has become clear up until now.”
28-32 حدثنا أبي، ومحمد بن الحسن، وأحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار، رضي الله عنهم قالوا: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن علي بن الحكم، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
كان في ذؤابة سيف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله صحيفة صغيرة، فقلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: أي شيء كان في تلك الصحيفة؟ قال: هي الاحرف التي يفتح كل حرف منها ألف حرف، قالوا أبوبصير: قال أبوعبد الله عليه السلام: فما خرج منها إلا حرفان حتى الساعة
