2. My father (RA) that `Ali ibn Ibrahim, on the authority of his father, on the authority of al`Abbas ibn `Amr, on the authority of Hisham ibn al-Hakam that An atheist asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS)
“What is He?” He (AS) replied: He is a Thing unlike other things. If you consider the meaning of the word “thing.” He is indeed a Thing by definition [al-shay’iyyah], with the exception that He has neither substance nor shape”
2 - أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن العباس بن عمرو عن هشام بن الحكم، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام
أنه قال للزنديق حين سأله ما هو؟ قال: هو شئ بخلاف الأشياء، ارجع بقولي: (شئ) إلى إثبات معنى وأنه شئ بحقيقة الشيئية، غير أنه لا جسم ولا صورة .
