Hadith 422
۞
Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. Musa b. Babuwayh al-Qummi (ra) narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Muhammad b. `Asim al-Kulayni narrated to us. He said
Muhammad b. Ya`qub al-Kulayni from `Ali b. Muhammad also known as `Alan from Muhammad al-Faraj al-Rakhji. He said: I wrote to Abi’l Hasan `Ali b. Muhammad b. `Ali b. Musa b. Ja`far b. Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. `Ali b. Abi Talib (as) asking him about what Hisham b. al-Hakam said regarding the body [of Allah] and what Hisham b. Salim said regarding the form. So, he (as) wrote: Leave the perplexity of the perplexed and seek refuge in Allah from Satan. The [correct] doctrine is not what the two Hishams have said.

كتبت إلى أبي الحسن علي بن محمد بن علي بن موسى بن جعفر بن محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب (عليهم السلام) أسأله عما قال هشام بن الحكم في الجسم، وهشام بن سالم في الصورة، فكتب (عليه السلام): دع عنك حيرة الحيران، واستعذ بالله من الشيطان، ليس القول ما قال الهشامان (1).
