Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · The Mighty and High is Devoid of both Body and Image
13 - حدثنا الحسين بن أحمد بن إدريس رحمه الله، عن أبيه، عن أبي سعيد الآدمي، عن بشر بن بشار النيسابوري، قال: كتبت إلى أبي الحسن عليه السلام بأن من قبلنا قد اختلفوا في التوحيد، منهم من يقول هو جسم، ومنهم من يقول صورة، فكتب عليه السلام: سبحان من لا يحد، ولا يوصف، ولا يشبهه شئ، وليس كمثله شئ وهو السميع البصير.
13. Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad ibn Idris (may Allah have mercy on him) said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Sa`id al-Adami, on the authority of Bishr ibn Bashshar alNaysaburi that: I wrote to Abu al-Hasan al-Naqi (AS) informing him that the people differed on the subject of Divine Unity. Some of them say “He has a body” while others say that “He has an image.” So, he (AS) wrote (back): “Glory be to Him who has no limit, who cannot be described, and with whom nothing resembles! Nothing whatsoever is like unto Him. And He is the All-Hearing and the All-Seeing.”
