۞
1. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin ‘Isa, from his father, from Maruk bin ‘Ubayd, from Jumay’ bin Amru, that he said
Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said to me: What thing is: «Allah is Greater»?» [1] I said: Allah is Greater than everything. Then he said: Was there a particular thing to which He is Greater? Then I said: Then what is it? He said: Allah is Greater than to be described.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن أبيه، عن مروك بن عبيد، عن جميع بن عمير، قال
قال لي أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: أي شئ الله أكبر؟ فقلت: الله أكبر من كل شئ،. فقال: فكان ثم شئ فيكون أكبر منه؟ فقلت: فما هو؟ قال: الله أكبر من أن يوصف.
