الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):
لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْعَقْلَ، قَالَ لَهُ: أَقْبِلْ، فَأَقْبَلَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: أَدْبِرْ، فَأَدْبَرَ، فَقَالَ: وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي‏ مَا خَلَقْتُ خَلْقاً أَحْسَنَ مِنْكَ‏، إِيَّاكَ آمُرُ، وَ إِيَّاكَ أَنْهى‏، وَ إِيَّاكَ أُثِيبُ، وَ إِيَّاكَ أُعَاقِبُ.

When Allah created the intellect, He said to it, ‘Come forward’ so it came forward, then Allah commanded it, ‘Go back’ and it went back. Then He said to it, ‘By my Honour and Exaltedness, I have not created anything better than you. It is you that I command, and you that I prohibit, and you that I punish and you that I reward.

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.
