He said: Abul Hasan âAli ibn Bilal al-Mahlabi reported to me from âAli ibn Abdillah ibn Asad al-Ishfahani, who reported from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi, who reported from al-Qannad, who reported from âAli ibn Hashim, from his father, from Saeed ibn al-Musayyib who said: I heard Amirul Muâmineen âAli ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, say: "There is no verse between the two covers of the Qurâan, except that I know for whom it was revealed and when it was revealed, and whether on a plain, levelled land or upon a mountain.
Surely, here in my breast is abundant knowledge! So, put your questions to me before you do not find me among yourselves, for when you have lost me, you will not find anyone uttering the words I utter."
