1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin ‘Isa, from Qasim bin Yahya, from his grandfather, Hasan bin Rashid, from Abu’l-Hasan, Musa bin Ja’far, peace be upon them both, that he said
He was asked about the meaning of Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, so he said: He has taken possession over the tiny and the magnified.
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن القاسم بن يحيى، عن جده الحسن بن راشد، عن أبي الحسن موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام، قال
سئل عن معنى " الله " عز وجل، فقال: استولى على ما دق وجل.
