'Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. "Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has two kinds of knowledge.
One kind is that which is revealed to the angels, the prophets the Messenger of Allah. Whatever is revealed to the angels, the Messenger of Allah and the prophets, is known to us also. The
other is the kind which is exclusively for Allah. When Allah wants to make public anything from it is taught to us first and it is presented to the Imams before us also."
