Interpreter
وَ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ مَبْلَغِ عِلْمِنَا وَ هُوَ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ وُجُوهٍ مَاضٍ وَ غَابِرٍ وَ حَادِثٍ فَأَمَّا الْمَاضِي فَمُفَسَّرٌ وَ أَمَّا الْغَابِرُ فَمَزْبُورٌ أَمَّا الْحَادِثُ فَقَذْفٌ فِي الْقُلُوبِ وَ نَقْرٌ فِي الْأَسْمَاعِ وَ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ عِلْمِنَا وَ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ص
(6th Imam-asws said in a lengthy Hadith): And you asked about the extent of our-asws knowledge, and it is upon three aspects – past, and ancient, and newly-occurring. As for the past, it is ‘فَمُفَسَّرٌ’ interpreted, and as for the ancient, it is written. As for the newly-occurring, it is cast into the hearts and reverberated into the ears, and it is the best of our-asws knowledge, and there is no Prophet-as after our Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww.[1]
