Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · On Traditions From al-Ridha About Unity
10 - حَدَّثَنا عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرانَ الدَّقَّاقُ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبي عَبدِ اللَّهِ الكُوفِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ البَرمَكِيِّ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا الفَضْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمانَ الكُوفِيُّ، عَنْ خالِدٍ قالَ: سَمِعْتُ الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَقُولُ: لَمْ يَزَلِ اللَّهُ تَعالى عالِماً قادِراً حَيّاً، قَدِيماً سَمِيعاً بَصِيراً.فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ قَوْماً يَقُولُونَ: لَمْ يَزَلِ اللَّهُ عالِماً بِعِلمٍ، وَقادراً بِقُدرَةٍ، وَحَيّاً بِحَياةٍ، وَقَدِيماً بِقَدَمٍ، وَسَمِيعاً بِسَمعٍ، وَبَصِيراً بِبَصَرٍ، فَقالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: مَن قالَ ذلِكَ وَدانَ بِهِ فَقَدْ اتَّخَذَ مَعَ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً اُخْرى لَيسَ مِن وِلايَتِنا عَلَى شَيءٍ، ثُمَّ قالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: لَمْ يَزَلِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلِيماً قادِراً حَيّاً قَدِيماً سَمِيعاً بَصِيراً لِذاتِهِ، تَعالى عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالمُشَبَّهُونَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً.
11-10 Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Imran ad-Daqqaq - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Abi Abdullah al-Kufi quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isma’il al-Barmaki, on the authority of Al-Fadhl ibn Soleiman al-Kufi, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Khalid: I heard Al-Ridha (s) say, “The Sublime God has always been All-Knowing, All-Powerful, Ever-Living, Ever-Lasting, All-Hearing and All-Seeing.” I asked him, “O son of the Prophet of God! There are some people who say that God has always been All-Knowing with Knowledge, All-Powerful with His Might, Ever-Living with His Life, Ever-Lasting with His Past, and All-Hearing with His Hearing, All-Seeing with His Sight.” The Imam (s) said, “Whoever says this and believes in it has indeed associated other gods as partners with God. He is not under our Mastery at all.” He (s) then added, “The Honorable the Exalted God has always been All-Knowing, All-Powerful, Ever-Living, Ever-Lasting, All-Hearing and All-Seeing by His own High Nature. High indeed is He Exalted above what the polytheists say and the similitude they draw.”
