hadith 12
(11) Muhammad bin Hammam bin Suhayl narrated from Abdullah bin al-Ala’ al-Mathari from Idreess bin Ziyad al-Kufi from one of his sheikhs that al-Mufadhdhal had said to him
“I hold your hand as Abu Abdullah (as) has held my hand and said to me: “O Mufadhdhal, this matter is not achieved by saying only. No, by Allah, it is not so until (our companions) preserve it as Allah has preserved it, honor it as Allah has honored it and care for it deservingly as Allah has ordered.”
11 - وحدثنا محمد بن همام بن سهيل قال حدثنا عبد الله بن العلاء المذاري قال حدثنا إدريس بن زياد الكوفي قال: حدثنا بعض شيوخنا قال
قال المفضل: أخذت بيدك كما أخذ أبو عبد الله بيدي وقال لي: يا مُفَضّلُ! إنّ هذا الأمر ليسَ بالقَولِ فقَط، لا واللهِ حتىّ يَصونَهُ كَما صانهُ اللهُ ويُشَرّفهُ كما شَرّفهُ اللهُ ويُؤدّي حقَّه كمَا أمرَ اللهُ.

hadith 319
9. He said: Abul Qasim Ja’far ibn Muhammad, may Allah bless him with mercy, reported to me from Abu ‘Ali Muhammad ibn Hammam al-Iskafi, who reported from Abdullah ibn Ala, who reported from Abu Saeed al-Adami, who reported from Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, commonly known as Zohl, from Jamil ibn Darraj, who reported that
Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "The best people among you are those who are generous, and the worst among you are the misers. And the best deed is to treat your brothers well, and to strive to fulfil their needs, for that is what Satan dislikes; and in that is salvation from hellfire and entrance into Paradise. O Jamil, narrate this tradition to your special friends." I said: "Who are my special friends?" He said: "Those who are kind to their brothers in the time of hardship and ease." Then he said: "For those who are blessed with plenty, that is very easy. Indeed, Allah has praised those who have little. He said (in Qur’an): ’ ... and they prefer others above themselves, even though poverty may afflict them. And whoever is saved from the greed of his own soul, those are the ones who prosper.’ (59:9)" And Allah is Sufficient for us and the Best Trustee, and may Allah bless our master Muhammad, the Prophet and his progeny.
9 - قال: أخبرني أبو القاسم جعفر بن محمد رحمه الله قال: حدثنا أبو علي محمد بن همام الإسكافي قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن العلاء قال: حدثنا أبو سعيد الآدمي قال: حدثني عمر بن عبد العزيز المعروف بزحل، عن جميل بن دراج، عن أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام قال
خياركم سمحاؤكم، وشراركم بخلاؤكم، ومن صالح الأعمال البر بالإخوان، والسعي في حوائجهم، وفي ذلك مرغمة للشيطان، وتزحزح عن النيران، ودخول الجنان. يا جميل أخبر بهذا الحديث غرر أصحابك، قلت: من غرر أصحابي؟ قال: هم البارون بالإخوان في العسر واليسر. ثم قال: أما إن صاحب الكثير يهون عليه ذلك، وقد مدح الله صاحب القليل فقال: " ويؤثرون على أنفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة ومن يوق شح نفسه فأولئك هم المفلحون ". وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل، وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد النبي وآله وسلم تسليما.

hadith 69
34. Abu al-`Abbas al-Fadl ibn al-Fadl ibn al`Abbas al-Kindi related to me in which he has permitted me [ajaza] in Hamdan in the year 354 AH that Muhammad ibn Sahl that is al-`Attar al-Baghdadi said word for word from his book in the year 305 AH that `Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Balawi said
`Umarah ibn Zayd related to me on the authority of `Amar ibn Muhammad ibn Sa`sa`ah ibn Sawhan that My father related to me on the authority of Abu alMu`tamar Muslim ibn Aws who said I attended a gather of `Ali (AS) in the Mosque of al-Kufah. There a man stood up whose color was pale, as if he was a Yemeni Jew, and said: “O Commander of the Faithful! Describe your Creator, and praise Him for us such that we may see Him.” Hence, `Ali (AS) praised his Lord, and exalted His Greatness, the Mighty and High, in the following words: All praise be to Allah, who is the First not from something, nor hidden in something, and who does not vanish nor unite with something. He is not an imaginary delusion. He is neither a shape that He may be watched, not a body so He may have parts. He is not with an end that He may terminate. He is not accidental [muhdath] so He may be seen. He is neither covered that He may be uncovered, not is He with veils so He may be comprised. He was there, but no space was there to carry Him in its sides, nor any carrier to life Him with its power. Neither has He come into being after not being there. In fact, the imaginations are baffled to assume a shape for the One who formed all things and is still without space, and does not decline with the variation of time. He does not transform from one quality to another. He is far from the supposition of hearts. He is Exalted above all things and varieties. He is the Single, and the Knower of the Unseen. Thus, the meanings of the creation are negated from Him, and their secrets are not hidden from Him. He is the Known without quality. He is not perceived through the senses and not compared with people. Eyes do not perceive Him. Thoughts cannot encompass Him. Intellects cannot assess Him, and imaginations cannot imagine Him. Hence, any likeness of Him conceived by the intellect is limited. And how could He be described with shapes and praised with eloquent tongues? He neither occurred in things, so it may be said that He is in them, nor left them, that it may be said that He is obvious. Neither is He free from them so it may be said `where.’ He is neither so close to them as to stick to them, nor so far from them as to be split. But He is in the things without quality. He is closer to us than our jugular vein, and further ways than what is most far. He has neither created things with the origin of eternity, nor from prior examples. In fact, He created what He created, and made it strong. He imagined what He imagined and beautified it. Thus, praise be Him who is Unique in His Elevation. Hence, nothing can refuse to Him His decree. Nor does He gain anything through the obedience of His Creation. His Response to callers is quick. The Angels in the Heavens and the Earth are submissive to Him. He addressed Moses with words without limbs, instruments, lips or uvulas. Praise be Him and Exalted is He from attributes. Thus, whoever supposes that the God of the Creation is limited then he is ignorant of God, the Creator. The Compiler of this book says: The sermon is detailed; we have extracted from it the required passage.
34 - أخبرني أبو العباس الفضل بن الفضل بن العباس الكندي فيما أجازه لي بهمدان سنة أربع وخمسين وثلاثمائة، قال: حدثنا محمد بن سهل يعني العطار البغدادي لفظا من كتابه سنة خمس وثلاثمائة، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد البلوي قال: حدثني عمارة بن زيد، قال: حدثني عبد الله بن العلاء قال: حدثني صالح بن سبيع، عن عمرو بن محمد بن صعصعة بن صوحان قال: حدثني أبي عن أبي المعتمر مسلم بن أوس، قال
حضرت مجلس علي عليه السلام في جامع الكوفة فقام إليه رجل مصفر اللون - كأنه من متهودة اليمن - فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين صف لنا خالقك وانعته لنا كأنا نراه وننظر إليه، فسبح علي عليه السلام ربه وعظمه عز وجل وقال: الحمد لله الذي هو أول بلا بدئ مما ولا باطن فيما، ولا يزال مهما ولا ممازج مع ما، ولا خيال وهما ليس بشبح فيرى، ولا بجسم فيتجزأ، ولا بذي غاية فيتناهى، ولا بمحدث فيبصر، ولا بمستتر فيكشف، ولا بذي حجب فيحوى كان ولا أماكن تحمله أكنافها، ولا حملة ترفعه بقوتها، ولا كان بعد أن لم يكن، بل حارث الأوهام أن تكيف المكيف للأشياء ومن لم يزل بلا مكان، ولا يزول باختلاف الأزمان، ولا ينقلب شأنا بعد شأن ، البعيد من حدس القلوب المتعالي عن الأشياء والضروب، والوتر، علام الغيوب، فمعاني الخلق عنه منفية، وسرائرهم عليه غير خفية، المعروف بغير كيفية، لا يدرك بالحواس، ولا يقاس بالناس، ولا تدركه الأبصار، ولا تحيط به الأفكار، ولا تقدره العقول، ولا تقع عليه الأوهام، فكل ما قدره عقل أو عرف له مثل فهو محدود، وكيف يوصف بالأشباح، و ينعت بالألسن الفصاح؟ من لم يحلل في الأشياء فيقال هو فيها كائن، ولم ينأ عنها فيقال هو عنها بائن، ولم يخل منها فيقال أين، ولم يقرب منها بالالتزاق، ولم يبعد عنها بالافتراق، بل هو في الأشياء بلا كيفية، وهو أقرب إلينا من حبل الوريد، وأبعد من الشبه من كل بعيد لم يخلق الأشياء من أصول أزلية، ولا من أوائل كانت قبله بدية بل خلق ما خلق، وأتقن خلقه، وصور ما صور، فأحسن صورته، فسبحان من توحد في علوه، فليس لشئ منه امتناع، ولا له بطاعة أحد من خلقه انتفاع، إجابته للداعين سريعة، والملائكة له في السماوات والأرض مطيعة، كلم موسى تكليما بلا جوارح وأدوات ولا شفة ولا لهوات سبحانه و تعالى عن الصفات، فمن زعم أن إله الخلق محدود فقد جهل الخالق المعبود - و الخطبة طويلة أخذنا منها موضع الحاجة -.
