Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Verily Ali was knowledgeable and knowledge is something that is inherited. In fact, no sooner does a knowledgeable man die than there remains after him one who knows his knowledge or whatever Allah wishes.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّ علِيّا كانَ عالِما والعلمُ يُتوارَثُ، ولَن يَهْلِكَ عالِمٌ إلّا بَقِيَ مِن بَعدِهِ مَن يَعلَمُ عِلمَهُ أو ما شاءَ اللّهُ.
