Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · The Mighty and High is Devoid of both Body and Image
6 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن عبد الله بن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي رضي الله عنه، عن أبيه، عن جده أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبي نصر، عن محمد بن حكيم، قال: وصفت لأبي إبراهيم عليه السلام قول هشام الجواليقي، وحكيت له قول هشام بن الحكم: إنه جسم، فقال: إن الله لا يشبهه شئ، أي فحش أو خناء أعظم من قول من يصف خالق الأشياء بجسم أو صورة أو بخلقة أو بتحديد أو أعضاء؟! تعالى الله عن ذلك علوا كبيرا.
6. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn `Abd Allah ibn Ahmad ibn `Abu `Abd Allah al-Barqi said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Nasr, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Hukaym that I described the statement of Hisham al-Jawaliqi, and narrated for Musa al-Kadhim (AS) the statement of Hisham ibn al-Hakam that He possesses a body. Hence, he (AS) said: “Verily, nothing resembles Allah. Indecent language is better than words which give the Creator a created body or image composed of parts. Exalted from these, the High, the Great.”
