عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُرَاتِ،عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ* وَ قَلِيلٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ ، قَالَ: ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ابْنُ آدَمَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ أَخُوهُ،وَ مُؤْمِنُ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ،وَ حَبِيبٌ النَّجَّارُ صَاحِبُ يَس: وَ قَلِيلٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)».

“A multitude from among the first are: the son of Adam who was killed by his brother, the believer from the family of Pharaoh, and Ḥabīb al-Najjār, the companion of Yā Sīn; and a few from among the latter is ‘Ali ibn Abī Ṭālib (peace be upon him).”
