Here is a Ṣaḥīḥ (Authentic) ḥadīth on the amount of knowledge Imām `Alī (عليه السلام) had of the Qur’ān. This ḥadīth is found in a much larger ḥadīth. Also this ḥadīth is not only found in Shī`ah books, but it is found all over the Sunnī books as well. I have posted another ḥadīth where Imām `Alī (عليه السلام) says, “Ask me whatever you wish” (Click here).
«ما في كتاب الله عز و جل آية إلا و أنا أعرف تفسيرها و في أي مكان نزلت من سهل أو جبل و في أي وقت نزلت من ليل أو نهار و أن هاهنا لعلما جما و أشار إلى صدره و لكن طلابه يسيرة و عن قليل يندمون لو قد يفقدوني»
Imām `Alī (عليه السلام) said: “There is not an ayah in the Book of Allāh (عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ) except that I know its tafsīr, and in whichever place it was revealed, on a plain or a mountain, and in whatever time it was revealed, in the night or the day.’ – Pointing to his chest – ‘here there is abundant knowledge, but the seekers of it are few, and from the few they will regret when they lose me.’

ReplyDeleteWhat can you say about some hadith saying that imam Ali as knew quran when he was a baby ?
Wa `Alaykum Assalaam,
ReplyDeleteThose hadeeth are VERY Da`eef with many majaaheel (unknown people) and ghulaat people in the chain. They should not be paid attention to.
Assalaamu `Alaykum
