الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عليه السلام، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَدْنَى الْمَعْرِفَةِ، فَقَالَ: الْإِقْرَارُ بِأَنَّهُ لَاإِلهَ غَيْرُهُ، وَ لَا شِبْهَ لَهُ وَ لَا نَظِيرَ، وَ أَنَّهُ قَدِيمٌ مُثْبَتٌ، مَوْجُودٌ غَيْرُ فَقِيدٍ، وَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ.

Imam Ali (as):

Imam al-Kazim (AS), when he was asked about the lowest degree of inner knowledge, replied, ‘It is to affirm that there is no god but He, and that He has no likeness or match, and that He is eternal, perpetual and everlasting. He is All-existent and not absent, and that there is nothing like Him.’

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
