Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · What is Related Regarding the Vision
12 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد بن عمران الدقاق رحمه الله قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عمن ذكره، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن داود بن القاسم عن أبي هاشم الجعفري، قال: قلت لأبي جعفر ابن الرضا عليهما السلام (لا تدركه الأبصار و هو يدرك الأبصار)؟ فقال: يا أبا هاشم أوهام القلوب أدق من أبصار العيون، أنت قد تدرك بوهمك السند والهند والبلدان التي لم تدخلها ولا تدركها ببصرك، فأوهام القلوب لا تدركه فكيف أبصار العيون.
12. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq (RA) said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi said on the authority of who he mentioned, on the authority of Muhammad ibn `Isa, on the authority of Dawud ibn al-Qasim on the authority of Abu Hashim al-Ja`fari that I asked Abu Ja`far ibn al-Rida (AS) about: Vision comprehends Him not, and He comprehends (all) vision. Hence, he replied: O Abu Hashim! The imagination of mind is more precise than the vision of the eyes. You may imagine Sind, India, the towns which you have not visited, and which you have not seen with your eyes. Thus, if imagination cannot comprehend Him, how can the eyes?”
