Hadith 185
۞
8. Muhammad ibn `Ali Majilwayh (RA) said: my paternal uncle Muhammad ibn Abu al-Qasim related to me that Muhammad ibn `Ali al-Sayrafi al-Kufi related to me that Muhammad ibn Sinan related to me, on the authority of Aban ibn `Uthman al-Ahmar that
I asked al-Sadiq Ja`far ibn Muhammad (AS), “Inform me about Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. Has He sempiternally been All-Hearing, All-Seeing, All-Knowing, and All-Powerful?” He (AS) replied, “Of course.” Hence, I asked him, “There is a man who professes to be a friend of the Household of the Prophet (AS) and says: `Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has always been All-Seeing with an ear, All-Hearing with an eye, All-Knowing by Knowledge, and AllPowerful with power.” He (AS) became angry and then said: “Verily, whoever says this and believes in it, is a polytheist and is not under our Guardianship at all. Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, is the Possessor of the Knowledge of Hearing, Seeing, and Omnipotence.”
8 - حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثني عمي محمد بن أبي القاسم، قال: حدثني محمد بن علي الصيرفي الكوفي، قال: حدثني محمد بن سنان، عن أبان بن عثمان الأحمر، قال
قلت للصادق جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام: أخبرني عن الله تبارك وتعالى لم يزل سميعا بصيرا عليما قادرا؟ قال: نعم، فقلت له: إن رجلا ينتحل موالاتكم أهل البيت يقول: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لم يزل سميعا بسمع وبصيرا ببصر وعليما بعلم وقادرا بقدرة، فغضب عليه السلام، ثم قال: من قال ذلك و دان به فهو مشرك وليس من ولايتنا على شئ، إن الله تبارك وتعالى ذات علامة سميعة بصيرة قادرة.
