3. Ahmad ibn ’Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar, from one of our people in a marfu’ manner that Abu 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) was asked
'What is intellect (al-'Aql)?'. He said, ‘It is what someone worships ar-Rahman with and attains paradise.’ I then asked, 'What was the thing within Mu'awiya?'. He replied, ‘That was heinousness, that was devilry and it is similar to the intellect but it is not intellect.’
