الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا الْكِبْرُ؟ فَقَالَ: أَعْظَمُ الْكِبْرِ أَنْ تَسْفَهَ الْحَقَ‏، وَ تَغْمِصَ النَّاسَ. قُلْتُ: وَ مَا سَفَهُ الْحَقِ‏؟ قَالَ: تَجْهَلُ‏ الْحَقَّ، وَ تَطْعُنُ‏ عَلى‏ أَهْلِهِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

I asked Imam al-Sadiq (as) about arrogance, and he replied: 'The gravest form of arrogance in when you debase the truth and look down upon people.' I asked: 'And how does one debase the truth?' He replied: 'By being ignorant about the truth and vilifying its people.'

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.
