Hadith 219
۞
1. Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn `Isam al-Kulayni (RA) said: Muhammad ibn Ya`qub alKulayni (RA) said: `Ali ibn Muhammad, famous as `Allan al-Kulayni, said: Muhammad ibn `Isa ibn `Ubayd that I asked Abu al-Hasan `Ali ibn Muhammad al-`Askari (AS) that the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High: And the whole Earth shall be in His Grip on the Day of Resurrection and the Heavens rolled up in His Right Hand.Consequently, he (AS) replied, This is a condemnation from Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, for those who compare Him to His Creation. Have you not see that He said: and they do not assign to Allah the attributes due to Him when they say: Allah has not revealed anything to a mortal, then the Mighty and High eliminated (anthropomorphic elements of) the Grip, and the Right Side from Himself and, hence, He said
Glory be to Him, and may He be exalted above what they associate (with Him).
1 - حدثنا محمد بن محمد بن عصام الكليني رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا محمد بن يعقوب الكليني، قال: حدثنا علي بن محمد المعروف بعلان الكليني، قال: حدثنا محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد، قال
سألت أبا الحسن علي بن محمد العسكري عليهما السلام، عن قول الله عز وجل: (والأرض جميعا قبضته يوم القيمة والسماوات مطويات بيمينه) فقال: ذلك تعيير الله تبارك وتعالى لمن شبهه بخلقه، ألا ترى أنه، قال: (وما قدروا الله حق قدره) ومعناه إذ قالوا: إن الأرض جميعا قبضته يوم القيمة والسماوات مطويات بيمينه، كما قال عز وجل: (وما قدروا الله حق قدره) إذ قالوا: ﴿ما أنزل الله على بشر من شئ﴾ (١) ثم نزه عز وجل نفسه عن القبضة واليمين فقال: (سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركون) (٢).
