Hadith 968
۞
Muhammad b. `Ali Majiluwayh (rh) narrated to us. He said: My uncle Muhammad b. Abi’l Qasim narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. `Ali al-Sayrafi al-Kufi narrated to me. He said: Muhammad b. Sinan narrated to us from Aban b. `Uthman al-Ahmar. He said
I said to al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as): Inform me about Allah: Does He not cease in hearing, seeing, knowing, and being powerful? He said: Yes. So, I said to him: There is a man who claims to be upon your wilaya, the Ahl al-Bayt, and he says: “Allah does not cease in seeing through sight, and hearing through [an instrument of] hearing, and knowing through knowledge, and being powerful through [an instrument of] power.” So, he (as) became angry, then said: He who says this and takes his religion from this is a pagan that is not upon our wilaya in a thing. Surely, Allah is knowing, hearing, seeing, and powerful [without the aid of anything].
7 - حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا عمي محمد بن أبي القاسم، قال: حدثني محمد بن علي الصيرفي الكوفي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن سنان، عن أبان بن عثمان الاحمر، قال
قلت للصادق جعفر بن محمد (عليه السلام): أخبرني عن الله تبارك وتعالى، لم يزل سميعا بصيرا عليما قادرا؟ قال: نعم. فقلت له: فإن رجلا ينتحل موالاتكم أهل البيت يقول: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لم يزل سميعا بسمع، وبصيرا ببصر، وعليما بعلم، وقادرا بقدرة. قال: فغضب (عليه السلام)، ثم قال: من قال ذلك ودان به فهو مشرك، وليس من ولايتنا على شئ، إن الله تبارك وتعالى ذات علامة سميعة بصيرة قادرة (3).
