Hadith 222
۞
1. Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ahmad ibn Yunus Mu`adhi said: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa`id Kufi Hamadani said: `Ali ibn Hasan ibn `Ali ibn Fuddal on the authority of his father said
I asked `Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (AS) about the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High: And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks. Consequently, he (AS) replied, Verily, Allah, the Mighty and High, cannot be characterized by coming and going since He is far above transferring His Location. Verily, what He is implying by this verse is that Your Lord’s Affair comes in the same sense that the angels come in ranks.

سألت الرضا علي بن موسى عليهما السلام، عن قول الله عز وجل (وجاء ربك والملك صفا صفا) فقال: إن الله عز وجل لا يوصف بالمجئ والذهاب تعالى عن الانتقال، إنما يعني بذلك وجاء أمر ربك والملك صفا صفا. باب تفسير قوله عز وجل: ﴿هل ينظرون إلا أن يأتيهم الله في ظلل من الغمام والملائكة﴾ (١)
