Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, did not teach anything to His Messenger but that He commanded him to teach such knowledge to Amir al-Mu’minin عليه السلام and he was his partner in Knowledge

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from Mansur ibn Yunus from ibn ’Udhaynah from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said that he heard abu Ja‘far عليه السلام say the following. “Once Jibril descended to Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم (and) brought two pieces of pomegranate from Paradise. Ali عليه السلام meet him and asked, “What (kind of ) pomegranate are those in your hands?” He replied, “As to this one, it is the Prophet-hood in which there is no share for you. As to this one, it is knowledge. Then the Messenger of Allah broke it into two halves. He then gave one half and the Messenger of Allah kept the other half and then said, “You are my partner in it and I am your partner in it.” The Imam عليه السلام then said, “I swear by Allah that there was nothing of all the knowledge that was taught to the Messenger of Allah but that he taught them to Ali عليه السلام and thereafter knowledge was transferred to us. He then placed his hand over his chest.”
