Imam al-Rida (AS) said, ‘Because of the fact that the secret trace of a black mustard seed on a massive rock in the darkness of the night, be it in the ground or in the seas, cannot remain hidden from Him, is what compels us to say that He is all-seeing.
الإمامُ الرّضا (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لَمّا لَم يَخفَ عَلَيهِ خافِيَةٌ مِن أثَرِ الذَّرَّةِ السَّوداءِ ، عَلَى الصَّخرَةِ الصَّمّاءِ ، في اللَّيلَةِ الظَّلماءِ ، تَحتَ الثَّرى وبحار الأنوار ، قُلنا: بَصيرٌ .
