الإمام الرّضا (عليه السَّلام ):
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا عليه السلام: أَدْعُو لِوَالِدَيَّ إِذَا كَانَا لَايَعْرِفَانِ الْحَقَّ؟ قَالَ:ادْعُ لَهُمَا، وَ تَصَدَّقْ عَنْهُمَا، وَ إِنْ كَانَا حَيَّيْنِ لَايَعْرِفَانِ الْحَقَّ فَدَارِهِمَا ؛ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و آله قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَنِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ، لَابِالْعُقُوقِ‏.

I said to Imam al-Ridha (as), 'Can one pray for their parents if they are not acquainted with the right path [they do not adhere to Islam or Shi'ism]?' The Imam replied, 'One must pray for them and give charity on their behalf [if they are dead] and if they are alive and are not acquainted with the right path, one must still treat them with gentleness, as the prophet (s) said, 'Verily God sent me with [the message of] mercy and not with insolence [to one's parents].'

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.
