۞
God's Prophet (a.s) said: “God has not distributed anything better than intelligence among his servants. the sleeping of an intelligent person is better than a foolish person's being awake. God perfected the intellect of anyone He appointed as a Prophet, in such way that he was the most intelligent person in his nation, even though there might have been ones who tried harder than him to worship God.”
وقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): ما قسم الله للعباد بشئ أفضل من العقل، نوم العاقل أفضل من سهر الأحمق، وما بعث الله نبيا ولا رسولا حتى يستكمل العقل، وكان عقله أفضل من عقل جميع أمته، وعسى أن يكون في أمته من هو أشد اجتهادا منه.
