15. A group of our people have narrated from Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan Ibn Ali Ibn Fadhal from one of our people that Abu 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) stated: "Rasulullah (sawwas) never spoke to people according to his own level of intellect." He (the Imam) also said that Rasulullah (sawwas) said, "We, the community of Prophets, were commanded to speak to people according to their level of intellect."
