1/1. Abu Ja‘far Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub informed us, saying: A group of our companions narrated to me, among them: Muhammad ibn Yahya al-‘Attar, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razīn, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who reported from Abu Ja‘far (Imam al-Baqir), who said: When Allah created the intellect (‘aql), He made it speak, then said to it: "Come forward," so it came forward. Then He said to it: "Turn back," so it turned back. Then He said: "By My might and majesty, I have not created a creation more beloved to Me than you, and I have perfected you only in those whom I love. Indeed, it is you whom I command, and you whom I forbid, and through you I reward, and through you I punish."
