Arabic text

20 - حدثنا محمد بن أحمد السناني رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الأسدي الكوفي، عن موسى بن عمران النخعي، عن عمه الحسين بن يزيد النوفلي، عن علي بن سالم، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد الله الصادق عليه السلام، قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لا يوصف بزمان ولا مكان ولا حركة ولا انتقال ولا سكون، بل هو خالق الزمان والمكان والحركة والسكون، تعالى الله عما يقولون علوا كبيرا.

Translation

20. Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn al-Sinani (RA) said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Asadi al-Kufi said, on the authority of Musa ibn `Imran al-Nakha`I, on the authority of his paternal uncle al-Husayn ibn Yazid al-Nawfali, on the authority of `Ali ibn Saim, on the authority of Abu Basir that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said: “Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, cannot be described in terms of space, motion, translocation or stillness. Rather, He is the Creator of time, space, motion and stillness. Exalted is Allah from what they say, the Elevated, the Great.
