meaning “I am the City of Knowledge and Ali is its door”

Question:

Assalamu alaikum,

In of the earlier posts (https://eshaykh.com/doctrine/days-of-peace/) Shaikh had mentioned that Prophet (s) say about Sayyidina `Ali (r):

أنا مدينة العلم و علي بابها

Ana madeenatul-`ilm wa `aliyyun baabuha.

I am the City of Knowledge and `Ali is its door.

Can the sheikh tell us the actual meaning of the above saying?

Jazakallah

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

In-sha-Allah you may listen to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim’s sohbet The City of Knowledge” on Sufilive.
