الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

قالَ أبو عَبدِ اللّه عليه السلام لرَجُلٍ : ما الفَتى عِندَكُم ؟ فقالَ لَهُ : الشابُّ ، فقالَ : لا ، الفَتى : المُؤمِنُ ، إنَّ أصحابَ الكَهفِ كانوا شُيُوخا فَسَمّاهُمُ اللّهُ عَزَّ و جلَّ فِتيَةً بِإيمانِهِم .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Imam al-Sadiq (as) once asked a man, 'Who do you consider a fata?' to which the man replied, 'A young man.' Imam said, 'No, a fata is a believer, for verily the Companions of the Cave were middle-aged men, yet Allah called them fitya [plural of fata] because of their belief.'

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.
