Davood ibn al-Qasim narrated that
he heard Imam Reza (a.s) say: “Whoever compares God to His creatures is a polytheist. And whoever supposes that God is in a given place is an unbeliever. Whoever associates with God what He has admonished against is a liar.” Then Imam Reza (a.s) recited this verse: “It is those who believe not in the Signs of God that forge falsehood: It is they who lie.” [The Holy Quran: the Bee 16:105]
عن داود بن القاسم قال
سمعت علي بن موسى الرضا (عليه السلام) يقول: من شبه الله بخلقه فهو مشرك، ومن وصفه بالمكان فهو كافر، ومن نسب إليه ما نهى عنه فهو كاذب، ثم تلا هذه الآية ﴿إنما يفتري الكذب الذين لا يؤمنون بآيات الله وأولئك هم الكاذبون﴾.
