Arabic text

3 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد بن عمران الدقاق رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن محمد بن إسماعيل البرمكي، قال: حدثنا الفضل بن سليمان الكوفي، عن الحسين بن الخالد، قال: سمعت الرضا علي بن موسى عليهما السلام، يقول: لم يزل الله تبارك وتعالى عليما قادرا حيا قديما سميعا بصيرا، فقلت له: يا ابن رسول الله إن قوما يقولون: إنه عز وجل لم يزل عالما بعلم، وقادرا بقدرة، وحيا بحياة، وقديما بقدم، وسميعا بسمع، وبصيرا ببصر فقال عليه السلام: من قال ذلك ودان به فقد اتخذ مع الله آلهة أخرى، وليس من ولايتنا على شئ، ثم قال عليه السلام: لم يزل الله عز وجل عليما قادر حيا قديما سميعا بصيرا لذاته، تعالى عما يقول المشركون والمشبهون علوا كبيرا.

Translation

3. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq (RA) said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi said, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isma`il al-Barmaki that al-Fadl ibn Sulayman al-Kufi said, on the authority of al-Husayn ibn al-Khalid saying that Al-Rida `Ali ibn Musa (AS) said: “Allah, the Blessed the Exalted, has always been All-Knowing, All-Powerful, Ever-Living [hay], Ever-Lasting [qadim], All-Hearing, and All-Seeing.” I asked him “O son of the Messenger of Allah! There is a group that says: `Allah has always been All-Knowing with Knowledge, All-Powerful with His Might, Ever-Living with His Life, EverLasting with His Past, All-Hearing with His Hearing, and All-Seeing with His Sight.” Thus, he (AS) replied, “Verily, whoever says this and believes in it is a polytheist. He is not under our Guardianship at all.” He then added, “Allah, the Mighty and High, has always been AllKnowing, All-Powerful, Ever-Living, Ever-Lasting, All-Hearing, and all-Seeing by His Essence. Exalted is He, the Elevated, the Great, from what the polytheists and anthropomorphists say.”
