الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):
عليُ بنُ عقبَةَ : سُئِلَ أميرُ المؤمنينَ عليه السلام : بِمَ عَرَفتَ رَبَّكَ ؟ ـ : بِما عَرَّفَني نَفسَهُ . قيلَ : و كَيفَ عَرَّفَكَ نَفسَهُ ؟ قالَ : لا يُشبِهُهُ صُورَةٌ ، و لا يُحَسُّ بِالحَواسِّ ، و لا يُقاسُ بِالنّاسِ .

Imam Ali (as) was asked: 'How did you come to know your Lord?' To which he replied, 'I came to know my Lord by how He made Himself known to me.' then it was said, 'And how did He make Himself known to you?' He replied, 'That no image resembles him, that He cannot be perceived by the senses, and that He is not to be compared to people.'

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.
