Ibn Abi al-Hadid has reported narrations through both Ahl al-Sunnah and Shi'ah under this passage from Nahj al-Balagha, including: و روی عن جعفر بن محمد الصادق علیه السلام قال کان علی علیه السلام یری مع رسول الله صلی الله علیه و آله و سلم قبل الرسالة الضوء و یسمع الصوت و قال له صلی الله علیه و آله و سلم لولا انی خاتم الانبیاء لکنت شریکاً فی النبوة فان لا تکن نبیّاً فانّکَ وصّی نبیٍ و وارثه بل انت سیّد الاوصیاء و امام الاتقیاء7 It has been narrated from Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) that: Ali (peace be upon him) used to see the light and hear the voice along with the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his family) before the mission of prophethood.
Allamah al-Khoei, in the commentary and interpretation of this passage, uncovers a painful reality and writes: In these sentences, His Eminence has bequeathed and recommended being with the Quran in terms of learning and teaching and following it, and has severely warned humans against negligence in practice, to such an extent that non-Muslims might precede Muslims in acting upon it, just as we see in the present era that non-Muslims have preceded Muslims in its general rulings, such as truthfulness and helping one another.
Ibn Abi al-Hadid, in explaining this passage, has stated many noteworthy points, including that if an objection is raised that the Quran does not speak for itself and requires translation and interpretation, it is possible that the people of Sham might interpret it in the story of the Caliphate in favor of Muawiyah, and the people of Iraq in favor of Ali (peace be upon him), thus the dispute would remain persistent.
