7 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد بن عمران الدقاق رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن محمد بن إسماعيل البرمكي، عن الحسين بن الحسن عن بكر بن صالح، عن الحسين بن سعيد، قال: سئل أبو جعفر الثاني عليه السلام يجوز أن يقال لله: إنه شئ؟ فقال: نعم، يخرجه من الحدين حد التعطيل وحد التشبيه.
7. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq (RA) said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isma`il al-Barmaki, on the authority of alHusayn ibn al-Hasan, on the authority of Bakr ibn Salih, on the authority of al-Husayn ibn Sa`id that Abu Ja`far the Second (Imam Muhammad al-Taqi (AS) was asked: “Is it permissible to say that Allah is a Thing? Hence, he (AS) answered: “Yes, to the extent that it removes Him from the two extremes: annulment [ta`til] and anthropomorphism [tashbih].”
