Ali (a.s.) and Qur'an

Abaan relates from Sulaym ibne Qais that:

"I was sitting near Hadhrat Ali (a.s.) in Masjid-e-Kufa. Others were also sitting around him. Imam (a.s.) said: `Ask me about the Book of Allah before I am away from you. By Allah not a single verse of the Holy Qur'an was revealed to which Prophet (saw) recited and also gave me its correct Ta'weel (exegises).

Then Ibne Kawwa quired, "what about those verses of the Holy Qur'an which were revealed to the Holy Prophet in your absence? Imam (a.s.) replied: "Yes, when I was not with Holy Prophet (saw), he memorised the verses and when I was back in his presence he would say: "O Ali, after you left, the Almighty Allah revealed such and such verses. Then, he would recite for me and explain me about its Ta'weel."
