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 الحسين ابن الحسن، قال: حدثنا بكر بن صالح، عن القاسم بن عروة، عن عبد الحميد الطائي، عن محمد بن مسلم، قال: سألت أبا جعفر عليه السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: (ونفخت فيه من روحي) كيف هذا النفخ؟ فقال: إن الروح متحرك كالريح، وإنما سمي روحا لأنه اشتق اسمه من الريح، وإنما أخرجه على لفظ الروح لأن الروح مجانس للريح، وإنما أضافه إلى نفسه لأنه اصطفاه على سائر الأرواح كما اصطفى بيتا من البيوت، فقال: بيتي، وقال لرسول من الرسل: خليلي، وأشباه ذلك، وكل ذلك مخلوق مصنوع محدث مربوب مدبرا .

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-Husayn ibn alHasan said: Bakr ibn Salih said, on the authority of al-Qasim ibn `Urwah, on the authority of `Abd al-Hamid al-Ta’i, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Muslim that I asked Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) about the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High: `And I breathed into him of My Spirit. What is the meaning of “breathing” in this verse?’ Thus, he (AS) replied, Verily, a spirit moves like the air. Hence, it is called a spirit [ruh], because its name has been derived from the word air [rih]. Verily, He derived it from the word al-ruh because the spirit is homogeneous [mujanis] to the air [al-rih]. Verily, He associated it to Himself because He selected it over all the spirits like He selected that House from the houses and said: My House, and said for a Messenger from His Messengers: My Friend, and its like. All of those are created, with a beginning, have Lord, and re managed.
