Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Divine Unity and Negation of Anthropomorphism
11 - حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل رضي الله عنه، عن محمد بن يحيى العطار عن محمد بن أحمد، عن عبد الله بن محمد، عن علي بن مهزيار، قال: كتب أبو جعفر عليه السلام إلى رجل بخطه وقرأته في دعاء كتب به أن يقول: (يا ذا الذي كان قبل كل شئ، ثم خلق كل شئ، ثم يبقى ويفنى كل شئ، ويا ذا الذي ليس في السماوات العلى ولا في الأرضين السفلى ولا فوقهن ولا بينهن ولا تحتهن إله يعبد غيره) .
11. Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil (may Allah be pleased with him) said on the authority of Muhammad ibn Yahya al- `Attar on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad, on the authority of `Abd Allah ibn Muhammad, on the authority of `Ali ibn Mihazyar that Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) wrote a letter to a man in his own handwriting. I read the supplication it contained, and it said: O He Who existed before anything existed! O He Who created everything! O He Who will remain after everything perishes! O He besides Whom there is no god! O He Who is served in the highest of the heaves! O He Who is served in the lowest of the Earths! And O He Who is served between them, and below them!
