2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّما يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُوا الالْبابِ قَالَ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَعَدُوُّنَا الَّذِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ وَشِيعَتُنَا أُولُو الالْبَابِ.
2. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from an-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Jabir from abu Ja‘far عليه السلام who has said the following about the words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High: “Are those who know equal to those who do not know? Only the people of reason take heed.” (39:9) He said, ‘We are the people of knowledge, and our enemies are those who do not know, and our followers (Shias) are the people of reason.’”
