Intelligence and ignorance
Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Yaqub has narrated from a number of our people of whom one is Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar who narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Hassan ibn Mahbub from 'Ala' ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim from abu Jafar (a.s) who has said the following.
" When Allah, God, created Intelligence He made it speak and then He said to it, Come forward.
It came forward. He then said, "Go back." It went back.
Then Allah said, "I swear by My honor and glory that I have not created any creature more beloved to Me than you. I will not perfect you in anyone except those whom I love. I, however, will command only you to do things and prohibit only you from doing certain things. I will grand blessings (rewards) to you only and will subject only you to punishments."
Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from 'Amr ibn Uthman, from Mufaddal ibn Salih from Sad ibn Tarif from Asbagh ibn Nabatah, from Ali (a.s) who has said the following.
"Once Jibril came to Adam (a.s) and said, I am ordered to offer you three choices. You may chose one and leave the other two. Adam then asked, "What are those three things?"
Gibril replied, They are Intelligence, bashfulness and religion.
Adam then said, "I chose Intelligence." Gibril then asked bashfulness and religion to return and leave Intelligence with Adam. They said to Gibril, O Gibril, we are commanded to be with Intelligence wherever it may exist. Gibril then said, "It then is up to you." He then ascended to heavens.
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from ibn Faddal from al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm who has said the following.
"I heard (Imam) al-Rida (a.s) saying, "The friend of a person is his/her Intelligence and the enemy of a person is his/her ignorance."
