Muhammad ibn Marvan said that he asked Imam Sadiq (a.s) about God's statement: “Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know?” It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition!” [The Holy Quran: Zumar 39:9] Imam Sadiq (a.s) replied: “We are the ones who know, and our enemies are the ones who do not know, and our Shiites are those who are endued with understanding.”
عن محمد بن مروان قال
سألت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) عن قول الله عز وجل: ﴿هل يستوي الذين يعلمون والذين لا يعلمون إنما يتذكر أولو الألباب﴾ قال: نحن الذين نعلم، وعدونا الذي لا يعلم، وشيعتنا أولوا الألباب.
