Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · The meaning of the Saying of the Imams, peace be upon them, that Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, is a Thing
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن خالد عن محمد بن عيسى، عمن ذكره، رفعه إلى أبي جعفر عليه السلام أنه سئل أيجوز أن يقال: إن الله شئ؟ قال: نعم، يخرجه من الحدين: حد التعطيل، وحد التشبيه.
2. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Khalid, from Muhammed bin ‘Isa, from those he mentioned, that he ascribed to Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, peace be upon him, that he was asked: Is it permissible to say that Allah is a thing? He said: Yes, as long as one excludes Him from the two limitations; the limitation of incapacitation and the limitation of anthropomorphism.
