الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام عَنِ التَّوْحِيدِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَتَوَهَّمُ شَيْئاً؟ فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ، غَيْرَ مَعْقُولٍ، وَ لَا مَحْدُودٍ، فَمَا وَقَعَ وَهْمُكَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ، فَهُوَ خِلَافُهُ، لَايُشْبِهُهُ شَيْءٌ، وَ لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَوْهَامُ، كَيْفَ تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَوْهَامُ وَ هُوَ خِلَافُ مَا يُعْقَلُ، وَ خِلَافُ مَا يُتَصَوَّرُ فِي الْأَوْهَامِ؟! إِنَّمَا يُتَوَهَّمُ شَيْءٌ غَيْرُ مَعْقُولٍ وَ لَا مَحْدُودٍ.
Once I asked (Imam) Muhammad al-Baqir (as) about the Oneness of Allah and whether I can think of Him (the creator) as a thing.’ The Imam replied, ‘Yes, but not as a thing that can be well understood and clearly defined within limits. What may become a subject of your thoughts is different from Him. Nothing resembles Him and the thoughts and imaginations cannot reach Him. How could the imaginations reach Him when He is different from what can become the subject of thoughts and is different from whatever can be perceived in one’s thoughts? You can think of Him as a thing that cannot be well understood and clearly defined (under certain limits).’

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.
