Then he recited: ["Certainly will the believers have succeeded"] 1 . So the Prophet (exalted is his might) said: "Yes, they have succeeded since you are their Imam." Then he addressed him with what the prophets and the legatees were addressed with, then he fell silent.
Clarification and Noting: In this report is a corroboration of my speech which I previously cited, and a reply to those who say that what our Master the Commander of the Faithful - exalted is his might - used to speak of, from the knowledge of the hidden things and their like, was only by learning from the Messenger - exalted is his might - since he spoke of them immediately upon his birth "meaning by his manifestation" and without any period of time passing for him to receive the knowledge from the Messenger or other than him. Then, indeed he was not a prophet for us to say that what he spoke of was a revelation from Allah. Rather, the prophethood was at that time prepared for the Prophet and an endowment upon the Master Messenger - exalted is his might - alone, so the revelation with him is specified for him, no other.
