Imam Ali (AS) said, They (i.e. the Imams) are the trustees of the secrets of the Messenger of Allah (s), the protectors of his mission, the container of his knowledge, the sanctuary of his wisdom, the caverns of his books and the mountains of his religion.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : هُمْ مَوْضِعُ سِرِّ رَسُولِ اللّهِ صلَّى اللّه عليه و آله و سلَّم وََ حُماةُ أمْرِهِ وَ عَيْبَةُ عِلْمِهِ وَ مَوْئِلُ حُكْمِهِ وَ كُهُوفُ كُتُبِهِ وَ جِبالُ دينِهِ
