3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from Mansur ibn Yunus from ibn ’Udhaynah from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said that
he heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.) say the following. “Once Jibril descended to Muhammad (s.a) (and) brought two pieces of pomegranate from Paradise. Ali (a.s.) meet him and asked, “What (kind of ) pomegranate are those in your hands?” He replied, “As to this one, it is the Prophet-hood in which there is no share for you. As to this one, it is knowledge. Then the Messenger of Allah broke it into two halves. He then gave one half and the Messenger of Allah kept the other half and then said, “You are my partner in it and I am your partner in it.” The Imam (a.s.) then said, “I swear by Allah that there was nothing of all the knowledge that was taught to the Messenger of Allah but that he taught them to Ali (a.s.) and thereafter knowledge was transferred to us. He then placed his hand over his chest.”
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بِرُمَّانَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَقِيَهُ علي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ مَا هَاتَانِ الرُّمَّانَتَانِ اللَّتَانِ فِي يَدِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا هَذِهِ فَالنُّبُوَّةُ لَيْسَ لَكَ فِيهَا نَصِيبٌ وَأَمَّا هَذِهِ فَالْعِلْمُ ثُمَّ فَلَقَهَا رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بِنِصْفَيْنِ فَأَعْطَاهُ نِصْفَهَا وَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) نِصْفَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنْتَ شَرِيكِي فِيهِ وَأَنَا شَرِيكُكَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ وَالله رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) حَرْفاً مِمَّا عَلَّمَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلا وَقَدْ عَلَّمَهُ عَلِيّاً ثُمَّ انْتَهَى الْعِلْمُ إِلَيْنَا ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ.
