الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

تَجِدُ الرّجُلَ لا يُخطِئُ بلامٍ و لا واوٍ خَطيبا مِصْقَعا و لَقَلبُهُ أشَد ظُلمَةً مِن اللَّيلِ المُظلِمِ ، و تَجِدُ الرّجُلَ لا يَستَطيعُ يُعَبِّرُ عَمّا في قَلبِهِ بِلسانِهِ و قَلبُهُ يَزهَرُ كما يَزهَرُ المِصباحُ .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

You might come across a man who is a perfect preacher not making the slightest mistake in his speech, and yet his heart is darker than the dark night, and you might also come across a man who cannot express what is in his heart [properly] while his heart glitters like a shining lantern.

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.
