الإمام الكاظم (عليه السَّلام):

يا هِشامُ ، ما بَعَثَ اللّهُ أنبياءَهُ و رُسُلَهُ إلى عِبادِهِ إلاّ لِيَعقِلوا عَنِ اللّهِ ، فأحسَنُهُمُ استِجابَةً أحسَنُهُم مَعرِفَةً ، و أعلَمُهُم بأمرِ اللّهِ أحسَنُهُم عَقلاً ، و أكمَلُهُم عَقلاً أرفَعُهُم دَرَجَةً في الدُّنيا و الآخِرَةِ .

Imam al-Kazim (as):

Imam al-Kazim (as) in his advice to Hisham b. al-Hakam, said, ‘Allah has only sent His prophets and messengers to His servants in order that they may come to an understanding of Allah, so the ones who best heed their call are those who have the best inner knowledge, and the ones who best know Allah’s command are those who have the greatest intellects, and those who have the most perfect intellects will be the ones with the highest status in this world and in the Hereafter.’

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.
