Arabic text

11 - ما حدثنا به أحمد بن الحسن القطان، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن يحيى بن زكريا القطان، عن بكر بن عبد الله بن حبيب، قال: حدثنا تميم بن بهلول، عن أبيه، عن سليمان بن حفص المروزي، عن سليمان بن مهران، قال: قلت لجعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام هل يجوز أن نقول: إن الله عز وجل في مكان؟ فقال: سبحان الله وتعالى عن ذلك، إنه لو كان في مكان لكان محدثنا، لأن الكائن في مكان محتاج إلى المكان والاحتياج من صفات المحدث لا من صفات القديم.

Translation

11. What Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Qittan said with that Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Zakariyya alQittan said, on the authority of Bakr ibn `Abd Allah ibn Hubayb that Tamim ibn Bahlul said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Sulayman ibn Hafs al-Marwazi, on the authority of Sulayman ibn Mihran that I asked Ja`far ibn Muhammad (AS), “Is it permissible for you to say: Verily, Allah, the Mighty and High, is in a place?” Thus, he (AS) replied, “Glory be to Allah, and Exalted be He, from that! Verily, if He were subjected to space, He would have been caused since anything that exists in a place is in need of space. Anything that is in need of space is accidental, because the Eternal has no needs.
