Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “God created the intellect, then He said: “Come forward, and go back.” It came forward and went back. Then God said: “I swear by My Majesty and Honor that I have not created anything better and dearer than you. I will question through you, and I will forgive through you.”
قال أبو الحسن (عليه السلام): إن الله خلق العقل، فقال له: أقبل وأدبر، فأقبل وأدبر، فقال: وعزتي ما خلقت شيئا أحسن منك وأحب إلي منك، بك آخذ وبك أعطي.
