Ibn Jareer and Ibn Abdul Birr narrated from Muhammad Bin K`ab:

"A man asked Hadrat Ali (radiallahu anhu) a masala. He (Ali) replied to it. The man said that it is not so. But it is like this (and he explained to Ali). Hadrat Ali (radiallahu anhu) said: ‘You are correct, and I have erred. Indeed above every man of knowledge is one who knows more."

[Muawiyah]

و*روى وكيع عن أبي معشر عن محمد بن كعب القرظي قال‏:‏ سأل رجل عليا رضي الله عنه عن مسألة فقال فيها، فقال الرجل‏:‏ ليس كذلك يا أمير المؤمنين، ولكن كذا وكذا، فقال علي‏:‏ أصبت وأخطأت، وفوق كل ذي علم عليم‏

It's on a shi'ite website. You can get the website by searching for these words on google.
