Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil (RA) said: `Abd Allah ibn Ja`far al-Himyari, on the authority of Ahmand ibn Muhammad, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, on the authority of Ibn Sinan, on the authority of Ja`far ibn Muhammad (AS), that His father, Muhammad al-Baqir (AS), said: Verily, for Allah, Exalted be He, there is specific knowledge, and there is common knowledge.

As for the specific knowledge, it is the knowledge of which even the Closest Angels and Messengers (AS) are not informed. And as for the common knowledge, it is the knowledge that His Closest Angels and Messengers know, and which has reached us from the Messengers of Allah.”
