For a long time there has been a debate on the origin of mysticism and its relation to religion. Its opponents persist that it is not come out of religion and its proponents insist on its origin in revealed religion. This strong debate, in all period of history, shows complexity of this question. A case which can shows its origin in the revealed religion is to assess and analyze spiritual aspects of people who have a specific relation to law-bringing man and his heirs, ones who have received some cognations that have not received by any other. Appraisal of their characters which receive its meaning from its relation to law-bringing people decrease these old debates and perhaps brings them out of order. Having a special massage, analyzing testimony- historical works, appealing to works in libraries, and getting a typological and mystical epistemology approach, this essay obviously assess these characters and leads to conclusion that mystical and interior cognations essentially come out of revealed religion. Originally infallible Imams have had these cognations and then other people have received them from infallible Imams. Every character which has been received by these people shows a part of mystical aspects of infallible Imams. Therefore one of the essential origins of mysticism obviously comes to manifestation.
