Arabic text

12 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد بن عمران الدقاق رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن إسماعيل البرمكي، عن علي بن العباس، عن الحسن بن راشد، عن يعقوب بن جعفر الجعفري، عن أبي إبراهيم موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام أنه قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى كان لم يزل بلا زمان ولا مكان وهو الآن كما كان، لا يخلو منه مكان ولا يشغل به مكان، ولا يحل في مكان، ما يكون من نجوى ثلاثة إلا هو رابعهم ولا خمسة إلا هو سادسهم ولا أدنى من ذلك ولا أكثر إلا هو معهم أينما كانوا ليس بينه وبين خلقه حجاب غير خلقه، احتجب بغير حجاب محجوب، واستتر بغير ستر مستور، لا إله إلا هو الكبير المتعال.

Translation

12. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq (RA) said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi said: Muhammad ibn Isma`il al-Barmaki said, on the authority of `Ali ibn al`Abbas, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Rashid, on the authority of Ya`qub ibn Ja`fari that Abu Ibrahim Musa ibn Ja'far (al-Kadhim) (as) said: "Verily, Allah (swt) was always without time and space, and He was like He was. No place is free from Him, nor is any place occupied by Him, nor des He dissolve in any place. Nowhere is there a secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of them, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor less than that nor more but He is with them where so ever they are. There is no veil between Him and His Creation other than His Creation. He is Veiled without a Veil, and He is Covered without a Cover. There is no god but He, the Great, the Exalted."
