4-101 Ja’far ibn Ali ibn al-Hassan ibn al-Kufy - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his grandfather Al-Hassan ibn Ali quoted on the authority of his great grandfather Abdullah ibn al-Muqayrih, on the authority of Al-Sakoony, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), “Knowledge is a treasure, the key for which is asking. Therefore ask, may God have Mercy upon you. Four people shall benefit from knowledge: those who ask questions; those who respond to the questions; those who listen to them; and those who like the above three.”
IsnādJa'far ibn 'Ali ibn al-Hasan al-Kufi a rapporté: Mon grand-père al-Hasan ibn 'Ali m'a informé, de son grand-père 'Abdullah ibn al-Mughira, de al-Sakuni, de Ja'far ibn Muhammad, de son père, 'Ali, que la paix soit sur eux, a dit:
"La connaissance est un trésor et les clés en sont les questions. Demandez, que Dieu vous fasse miséricorde, car il y a une récompense dans la connaissance pour quatre types de personnes: celui qui pose des questions, celui qui parle, celui qui écoute et celui qui les aime."
