الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):
يَا هِشَامُ، كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام يَقُولُ: مَا عُبِدَ اللَّهُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ، وَ مَا تَمَّ عَقْلُ امْرِىً حَتّى‏ يَكُونَ فِيهِ خِصَالٌ شَتّى‏: الْكُفْرُ وَ الشَّرُّ مِنْهُ مَأْمُونَانِ، وَ الرُّشْدُ وَ الْخَيْرُ مِنْهُ مَأْمُولَانِ، وَ فَضْلُ مَالِهِ مَبْذُولٌ، وَ فَضْلُ قَوْلِهِ مَكْفُوفٌ، وَ نَصِيبُهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا الْقُوتُ، لَا يَشْبَعُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ دَهْرَهُ، الذُّلُّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مَعَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْعِزِّ مَعَ غَيْرِهِ، وَ التَّوَاضُعُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الشَّرَفِ، يَسْتَكْثِرُ قَلِيلَ الْمَعْرُوفِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ، وَ يَسْتَقِلُّ كَثِيرَ الْمَعْرُوفِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَ يَرَى النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ خَيْراً مِنْهُ، وَ أَنَّهُ شَرُّهُمْ‏ فِي نَفْسِهِ، وَ هُوَ تَمَامُ الْأَمْرِ.

O Hisham, The Commander of the faithful used to say: God is not worshipped through anything better than the intellect, and man's intellect will not be perfect until he possesses different qualities: disbelief and evil are far from him, development and goodness are expected from him, he gives away the excess of his wealth and restrains the excess of his speech, his share from this world is that which is enough to maintain him, he is never satiated with knowledge throughout his life, and prefers lowliness when being with God to honor when being with other than Him, humbleness is more loved by him than dignity, he regards the little good done by others as being much and regards the abundance of good that he himself does as being little, he considers all people to be better than him and considers himself to be worse than them.

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.
