Arabic text

5 - حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه رحمه الله، قال: حدثني عمي محمد بن أبي القاسم، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه، عن أحمد بن النضر الخزاز، عن عمرو بن شمر، عن جابر، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى كان ولا شئ غيره، نورا لا ظلام فيه وصادقا لا كذب فيه وعالما لا جهل فيه، وحيا لا موت فيه، وكذلك هو اليوم، وكذلك لا يزال أبدا.

Translation

5. Muhammad ibn `Ali Majilwayh (RA) said: My paternal uncle Muhammad ibn Abu al-Qasim related to me, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al Barqi, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ahmad ibn al-Nadr al-Khazzaz, on the authority of `Amr ibn Shimr, on the authority of Jabir that Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) said: Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, was there when there was nothing but Him. He was Light as there was no darkness in Him. He was the Truth as there was no falsehood in Him. He was Omniscient as there was no ignorance in Him. He was the EverLiving as there was no death in Him. And that is how He is today, and that is how He will remain forever.
