Ali (r) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said: "We are the House of Knowledge, and Ali is its Door." Al-Baghawi narrated this in al-Masabih among the good hadiths, and Abu Umar also narrated it,
saying: "I am the City of Knowledge," and added, "So whoever seeks knowledge should come to him through its Door."
