2. Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja`far al-Hamdani (RA) said: `Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of al-`Abbas ibn `Amr al-Fuqaymi, on the authority of Hisham ibn al-Hakam ibn al-Hakam saying that Ibn Abu al-`Awja’ entered the presence of al-Sadiq (AS) so al-Sadiq asked him
“O son of Abu al-`Awja’! Are you created or not?” He replied, “No, I am not created.” Al-Sadiq (AS) said to him, “So, if you were created, then how would you be?” The reporter says: Ibn Au al-`Awja’ could not provide an answer. Therefore, he stood up and left.
2 - حدثنا أحمد بن زياد بن جعفر الهمداني رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن العباس بن عمرو الفقيمي، عن هشام بن الحكم أن ابن أبي العوجاء دخل على الصادق عليه السلام فقال
له: يا ابن أبي العوجاء أمصنوع أنت أم غير مصنوع؟! فقال: لا، لست بمصنوع، فقال له الصادق عليه السلام: فلو كنت مصنوعا كيف كنت تكون فلم يحر ابن أبي العوجاء جوابا، وقام وخرج.
