Hadith 668
۞
Al-Husayn b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq al-Talaqani (ra) narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Sa`id the servant of Bani Hashim narrated to us. He said: Al-Mundhir b. Muhammad narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Isma`il al-Muthayma narrated to us. He said
Isma`il b. al-Fadl narrated to us. He said: I asked Aba `Abdillah Ja`far b. Muhammad al-Sadiq (as) about Allah; will He be seen in the Resurrection? So, he said: May Allah be glorified greatly above that! O Ibn al-Fadl! Surely, sights only comprehend that which has a colour and a modality, and Allah is the Creator of colours and modalities.
3 - حدثنا الحسين بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق الطالقاني (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد موسى بني هاشم، قال: حدثنا المنذر بن محمد، قال: حدثنا علي بن إسماعيل الميثمي، قال: حدثنا إسماعيل بن الفضل، قال
سألت أبا عبد الله جعفر بن محمد الصادق (عليه السلام) عن الله تبارك وتعالى، هل يرى في المعاد؟ فقال: سبحان الله وتعالى عن ذلك علوا كبيرا! يا بن الفضل، إن الابصار لا تدرك إلا ما له لون وكيفية، والله خالق الالوان والكيفية (3).
