حدثنا إبراهيم بن هارون الهيسي بمدينة السلام قال: حدثنا محمد بن أحمدبن أبي الثلج، قال: حدثنا الحسين بن أيوب، عن محمد بن غالب، عن علي بن الحسين، عن الحسن بن أيوب، عن الحسين بن سليمان، عن محمد بن مروان الذهلي، عن الفضيل بن يسار، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله الصادق عليه السلام: " الله نور السماوات والأرض " قال: كذلك الله عز وجل. قال، قلت: " مثل نوره "؟ قال لي: محمد صلى الله عليه وآله. قلت: " كمشكاة "؟ قال صدر محمد صلى الله عليه وآله. قلت:؟ " فيها مصباح "؟ قال فيه نور العلم يعني النبوة. قلت: " المصباح في زجاجة "؟ قال: علم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله صدر إلى قلب علي عليه السلام. قلت: " كأنها "؟ قال: لأي شئ تقرء " كأنها "؟ قلت: وكيف أقرء جعلت فداك؟ قال: " كأنه كوكب دري " قلت: " توقد من شجرة مباركة زيتونة لا شرقية ولا غربية "؟ قال: ذلك أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام، لا يهودي ولا نصراني. قلت: " يكاد زيتها يضيئ ولو لم تمسسه نار "؟ قال: يكاد العلم يخرج من فم العالم من آل محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وعليهم من قبل أن  ينطق به. قلت: " نور على نور "؟ قال: الامام على أثر الامام.
7.	We were told by Ibrahim bin Harun al-Haysi – in the City of Peace [1] – that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Abi’l-Thalj, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Ayub, from Muhammed bin Ghalib, from Ali bin Hussain, from Hasan bin Ayub, from Hussain bin Sulayman, from Muhammed bin Marwan al-Dhahli, from Fudail bin Yasar, that he said: I said to Abu Abdillah, al-Sadiq, peace be upon him: «Allah is the Light of the Heavens and the earth» (24:35). He said: That is Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He. He said: I said: «the example of His Light» (24:35). He said: Muhammed, may Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family. I said: «like a lantern» (24:35). He said: The chest of Muhammed, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family. I said: «in which there is a lamp» (24:35). He said: In it is the Light of Knowledge, that is Prophethood. I said: «the lamp is within a glass» (24:35). He said: The knowledge of Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, was issued to the heart of Ali, peace be upon him. I said: «as if it is» [2]. He said: For what thing are you reciting: «as if it is”?!» [3] I said: And how do I read it, may I be sacrificed for you? He said: «As if it [4] is a glimmering planet» (24:35). I said: «That is lit from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east, nor of the west» (24:35). He said: That is the Commander of the Believers, Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him, neither a Jew nor a Christian. I said: «Its oil is about to glow, although it has not been touched by fire» (24:35). He said: It is as if knowledge is about to exit the mouth of the Knowledgeable from the Family of Muhammed, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, before he utters it. I said: «Light upon Light» (24:35). He said: The Imam right after the Imam.
