الإمام السّجاد (عليه السَّلام):

الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ عليه السلام ـ في الدّعاءِ ـ : بِكَ عَرَفتُكَ و أنتَ دَلَلتَني عَلَيكَ و دَعَوتَني إلَيكَ ، و لَولا أنتَ لَم أدرِ ما أنتَ . و في خبرٍ عن الإمامِ الصّادقِ عليه السلام : ألا إنَّهُ قَدِ احتَجَّ عَلَيكُم بِما قَد عَرَّفَكُم مِن نَفسِهِ .

Imam al-Sajjad (as):

Imam Zayn al-Abidin (as) said in one of his supplications, ‘I have attained knowledge of You through You, and You are the One Who guided me to Yourself and called me to Yourself, and were it not for You, I would not know who You are.’ And in another tradition, Imam al-Sadiq (as) is reported to have said, 'Indeed Allah has produced argument against you by making Himself known to you.'

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.
