Hadith.5906 - It is narrated from Abu Jameelah Al-Mufaddal ibn Salih, from Sa'd ibn Tarif, from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubata, from Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib 
who said:
"Jibril descended upon Adam and said: 'O' Adam, I have been commanded to offer you a choice among three things, so choose one and leave the other two.'
Adam asked: 'What are those three things?'
Jibril replied: 'Intellect, modesty, and religion.'
Adam said: 'I choose intellect.'
So Jibril said to modesty and religion: 'Depart from him.'
They both replied: 'O' Jibril, we have been commanded to remain with intellect wherever it is.'
Jibril said: 'Then it is your affair,' and he ascended."
