مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ صَدِيقُ كُلِّ امْرِئٍ عَقْلُهُ وَ عَدُوُّهُ جَهْلُهُ

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Fazzal, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jahm who said,

‘I heard Al-Reza-asws saying: ‘A friend of every person is his intellect, and ‘عَدُوُّهُ جَهْلُهُ ’ his enemy is his ignorance’.[1]
