"عن أبي البَخْتَرِىِّ قَالَ: قِيلَ لِعَلِىٍّ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ أصْحابِ مُحَمَّد، فَقَال: عَنْ أيِّهِمْ؟ فَقَالُوا: حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بنِ مَسْعُود، قَال: عَلِمَ القُرآنَ والسُّنَّةَ ثُمَّ انتهَى، وكفىَ بِذَلِكَ عِلمًا، فَقَالوا: حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ أَبِى مُوسى، قال: صُبِغَ في العِلم صَبْغَة ثُمَّ خَرجَ مِنْهُ، قَالوا: حَدِّثنَا عَنْ عَمَّار، قَال: مُؤْمِنٌ يَنسى، إذا ذكِّر ذَكر، قالوا: أَخْبِرْنا عَنْ أَبِى ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: وَعَى عِلمًا، ثُمَّ عَجَزَ فيه، قَالُوا: أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ حُذَيفَةَ، قَال: أَعْلَمُ أَصْحَابِ مُحمَّد بِالمُنَافِقينَ، قَالُوا: أخْبِرْنَا عَنْ سَلمَانَ؟ قال: أَدْرَكَ العِلم الأوَّل وَالعلمَ الآخِرَ، بحر لا يلزح () قعره مِنَّا أَهْل البَيْتِ، قَالُوا: أَخْبِرْنا عَنك؟ قَالَ: إِيَّاها أرَدْتُم، كنت إِذَا سُئِلتُ أَعْطَيتُ وَإِذَا سَكَتُّ ابْتَدَيْتُ".

"Abu al-Bukhturi said: It was said to Ali: 'Tell us about the Companions of Muhammad.' He said: 'About which of them?' They said: 'Tell us about Abdullah ibn Mas'ud.' He said: 'He knew the Qur'an and the Sunnah, then stopped, and that is sufficient knowledge.' They said: 'Tell us about Abu Musa.' He said: 'He was dyed with knowledge, then came out of it.' They said: 'Tell us about Ammar.' He said: 'A believer who forgets; when he is reminded, he remembers.' They said: 'Tell us about Abu Dharr.' He said: 'He preserved knowledge, then he was unable to act upon it.' They said: 'Tell us about Hudhayfah.' He said: 'He is the most knowledgeable of the Companions of Muhammad about the hypocrites.' They said: 'Tell us about Salman.' He said: 'He attained the first knowledge and the last knowledge. He is a sea whose bottom cannot be reached, and he is one of us, the People of the House.' They said: 'Tell us about yourself.' He said: 'That is what you intended. When I was asked, I gave; and when I was silent, I began.'"
