Arabic text

59- وعن أب عبد اله (ع) قال: فما لا تقدر الخلائق عل كنه صفة اله (جل جلاله)، فذلك لا تقدر عل كنه صفة رسولِ اله (ص)، وكما لا تقدر عل كنه صفة الرسول (ص)، كذلك لا تقدر عل كنه صفة الإمام ،وكما لا تقدر عل كنه صفة الإمام كذلك لا يقدرون عل كنه صفة المؤمن

Translation

59. It has been narrated that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said: Just as people are not able to describe the real essence of Allah [M.G], similarly they cannot describe the true nature of the Messenger of Allah (a.s); and just as they are unable to describe the true nature of the Messenger of Allah (a.s), similarly they cannot possibly grasp the essential being of an Imam; and just as they cannot possibly grasp the essential being of an Imam, similarly they can never understand the true nature of a believer
