٢٨-٣٠ حدثنا أبي، ومحمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد، وأحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار رضي الله عنهم قالوا: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبيالخطاب، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن علي بن عقبة، عن الحارث بن المغيرة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: جاء أبو بكر وعمر إلى أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام حين دفن فاطمة عليها السلام في حديث طويل قال لهما فيه: أما ما ذكرتما أني لم أشهدكما أمر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فانه قال: لا يرى عورتي أحد غيرك إلا ذهب بصره فلم أكن لاذنكما لذلك، وأما إكبابي عليه فانه علمني ألف حرف، الحرف يفتح ألف حرف، فلم أكن لاطلع كما على سر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله
28-30 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father, Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad al-Walid and Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar - may God be pleased with them - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Muhammad ibn al-Hussein ibn Abil-Khat’tab, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali Fazzal, on the authority of Ali ibn Aqabah, on the authorityof Al-Harith ibn al-Muqayrih that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “When the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) buried Fatimah (MGB), Abu Bakr and Umar went to see him. During a long speech he (MGB) told them, “Considering your complaint concerning why I did not call you in for the task of the ritual ablutions of the dead (ghusl) for the Prophet (MGB), I should tell you that the Prophet (MGB) had told me that except for me whoever sees the Prophets (MGB) private parts would become blind. That is why I did not inform you. However, the reason I put my head near his ear was because the Prophet (MGB) taught me one-thousand letters each of which would explain one-thousand other letters. Since this was a Prophetic secret, I did not want you to become informed about it.”
