Arabic text

6 - حدثنا أبي رحمه الله قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا يعقوب ابن يزيد، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن ربعي بن عبد الله، عن الفضيل بن يسار قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: إن الله عز وجل لا يوصف. قال: وقال زرارة: قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: إن الله عز وجل لا يوصف (١) وكيف يوصف وقد قال في كتابه: ﴿وما قدروا الله حق قدره﴾ فلا يوصف بقدرة إلا كان أعظم من ذلك.

Translation

6. My father (RA) related us that Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said: Ya`qub ibn Yazid said, on the authority of Hammad ibn `Isa, on the authority of Rub`I ibn `Abd Allah, on the authority of al-Fudayl ibn Yasar that I heard Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) that “Verily, Allah, the Mighty and High, cannot be described.” Zurarah said: Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) said: “Verily, Allah, the Mighty and High, cannot be described. And how could He be described when He has said in his Book: And they do not assign to Allah the attributes due to Him? Thus, whatever they assign Him, He is greater than that.”
