17. And with the same chain of transmission, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, on the authority of `Ali ibn Ri’ab, on the authority of Durays al-Kunasi that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said
“Beware of discussing about Allah. Discuss His Reverence, but do not discuss His Essence. Verily, discussing Allah does nothing but lead astray.
17 - وبهذا الإسناد، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن علي بن رئاب، عن ضريس، الكناسي، قال
قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: إياكم والكلام في الله، تكلموا في عظمته ولا تكلموا فيه فإن الكلام في الله لا يزداد إلا تيها .
