الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):
قَالَ: جَاءَ حِبْرٌ إِلى‏ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَبَّكَ حِينَ عَبَدْتَهُ؟ قَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَعْبُدُ رَبّاً لَمْ أَرَهُ، قَالَ: وَ كَيْفَ‏ رَأَيْتَهُ‏؟ قَالَ: لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْعُيُونُ فِي مُشَاهَدَةِ الْأَبْصَارِ، وَ لكِنْ رَأَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ بِحَقَائِقِ الْإِيمَانِ‏.

A rabbi came to Imam Ali (as) asking: O Amir al-Mu’minin, have you seen your Lord while worshipping Him? Imam (as) Replied: I do not worship a Lord Whom I cannot see!’ So the rabbi asked, ‘But how do you see Him?’ Imam (as) replied, ‘Eyes do not perceive Him by looking with the sights; it is the hearts that behold Him with the realities of faith.

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.
