۞
7-44 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted Al-Abbas ibn Ma’ruf, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sayrafi, on the authority of Hammad ibn Uthman that he told Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), “‘We have received various narrations on the authority of the Divine Leaders.’ He (MGB) said, ‘
The Quran was revealed in seven letters. The least allowed thing for a Divine Leader is to issue decrees in seven different ways.’ Then as-Sadiq (MGB) added, ‘Such are Our Bounties: whether thou bestow them (on others) or withhold them, no account will be asked.’”

قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: إن الاحاديث تختلف عنكم قال: فقال: إن القرآن نزل على سبعة أحرف وأدنى ماللامام أن يفتي على سبعة وجوه، ثم قال: "هَذَا عَطَاؤُنَا فَامْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ".
