HADITHS 36
Ali’s (ع) share of Divine Wisdom
Ibn Mas’ud narrates that the Messenger of Allah (ص) said:
﴿ قُسِّمَتِ الْـحِكْمَةُ عَشْرَةَ أَجْزَاءَ فَاُعْطِيَ عَلِيٌّ تِسْعَةً وَاُعْطِيَ النَّاسُ جُزْءاً وَاحِداً ﴾
"Wisdom has been divided into ten parts, nine of which have been dedicated to Ali, and the remaining one part has been bestowed to the rest of the people”
