الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):
مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقاً يَطْلُبُ فِيهِ عِلْماً، سَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ طَرِيقاً إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضاً بِهِ، وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى الْحُوتِ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَ فَضْلُ الْعَالِمِ عَلَى الْعَابِدِ كَفَضْلِ الْقَمَرِ عَلى‏ سَائِرِ النُّجُومِ‏ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ.

He who traverses a path in order to gain knowledge thereupon, Allah makes him traverse the path to Paradise, and verily the angels gladly spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge. Indeed those who are in the heavens and those on earth seek forgiveness for the seeker of knowledge even the fish in the sea. The superiority of a knowledgeable man over a worshipper is that of the moon on the full moon night over other stars.

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.
