`Ali bin Husayn about "secret knowledge"

[Hani]

Salam,


This is from Tabaqat ibn Sa`d, we all know the `Iraqi Shia claim that Ahlul-Bayt inherited secret books of knowledge from the Prophet (saw), here's `Ali bin Husayn mentioning it:


أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ الضَّرِيرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ:  مَا فَعَلَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: صَالِحٌ. قَالَ: ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَمُرُّ بِنَا فَنُسَائِلُهُ عَنِ الْفَرَائِضِ، وَأَشْيَاءَ مِمَّا يَنْفَعُنَا اللَّهُ بِهَا، وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَا يَرْمِينَا بِهِ هَؤُلاءِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ


[We were told by Muhammad bin Khazim, he said: Sulayman bin Mihran told us, from Mas`oud bin Malik al-Kufi the servant of Sa`eed bin Jubayr, he said: `Ali Zayn-ul-`Abideen told me: "How is Sa`eed ibn Jubayr?" I said: "He's good." He told me: "He used to pass us by and we used to ask him about rulings of inheritance and other matters through which Allah used to benefit us. We do not possess what they claim." And he pointed towards `Iraq.]


And yes it's authentic.
