Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Divine Unity and Negation of Anthropomorphism
25 - حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسين السعدآبادي، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن داود بن القاسم، قال: سمعت علي بن موسى الرضا عليهما السلام، يقول: من شبه الله بخلقه فهو مشرك، ومن وصفه بالمكان فهو كافر، ومن نسب إليه ما نهى عنه فهو كاذب، ثم تلا هذه الآية: ﴿إنما يفتري الكذب الذين لا يؤمنون بآيات الله وأولئك هم الكاذبون﴾ .
25. Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil (may Allah have mercy on him) said: `Ali ibn alHusayn al-Sa`dabadi said: Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Barqi said on the authority of dawud ibn al-Qasim that I heard `Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (AS) that “He who compares Allah with His creation is an infidel and he who limits Him spatially is an unbeliever. And he who attributes to Him what is forbidden is a liar.” Then he (AS) recited this verse: Only they forge the lie who do not believe in Allah’s communications, and these are the liars.
