Hadith 553
۞
13. And with the same chain of transmission, on the authority of Abut al-Yas`, on the authority of Abu al-Jarud that Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) said
“Abandon speculating about Allah. Verily, speculating about Allah does nothing but lead astray. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, cannot be perceived by vision, and the reports cannot reach Him.”
13 - وبهذا الإسناد، عن أبي اليسع، عن أبي الجارود، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
دعوا التفكر في الله فإن التفكر في الله لا يزيد إلا تيها لأن الله تبارك وتعالى لا تدركه الأبصار ولا تبلغه الأخبار.
