Abstract
In the narrative heritage of Imamiya, there is a report of Imran Sabi's debate with Imam Reza (p.b.u.h), based on which Imam (p.b.u.h) gave a negative answer to Imran's question about God's self-awareness.In resolving the possible conflict between the rational principle and the narrative doctrine of the necessity of divine knowledge, Shia thinkers have considered the question of Imran to be related to a special type of self-awareness that requires limitations and defects for God.Based on the induction, at least five major explanations have been made regarding such an approach, that is, a kind of deprivation of self-awareness from God.These explanations have failed to provide the correct meaning of Imam's (p.b.u.h) statement. Of course, the lack of these explanations does not mean the negation of the main approach in dealing with the desired expression, but by maintaining this approach, it is possible to provide a correct explanation of the narration.
