"عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ كعْبٍ قال: سَألَ رَجُلٌ عَلِيًّا عَنْ مَسْألَة فَقالَ فيها. فَقَالَ الرجلُ: لَيْسَ هَكَذا، وَيَكُن كَذا وَكَذَا، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: أَصَبْتَ وَأَخْطَأتُ وَفَوقَ كُل ذِى عِلمٍ عَليِمٌ".

Muhammad ibn Ka'b said: 'A man asked Ali about a matter and he answered it. The man said: It is not so; it should be such and such. Ali said: You are right and you are wrong, and above every possessor of knowledge is One who is All-Knowing.'
