We have the knowledge of Torah and the Gospel (Injil), the Psalms, (al-Zabur) and the explanation of what the tablets contained.” I (the narrator) said, “This certainly is the knowledge.” The Imams (a.s.) said, “This is not knowledge. Knowledge is what happens day after day and hour after hour.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
