Arabic text

29 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّد بْنِ عَلِى ماجِيلوَيْه رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَلِىِّ بْنِ إِبراهِيمِ بْنِ هاشِمٍ، عَنْ مُختارِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الُمخْتار الهَمْدانِيَّ، عَنِ الفَتح بْنِ يَزِيد الجُرجانِيُّ، عَنْ أَبي الحَسَن‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَدْنَى الْمَعْرِفَةِ، قَالَ: الإِقْرَارُ بِأَنَّهُ لا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ وَلا شِبْهَ لَهُ وَلا نَظِيرَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّهُ قَدِيمٌ، مُثْبَتٌ مَوْجُودٌ غَيْرُ فَقِيدٍ، وَأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ.

Translation

11-29 Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluwayh - may God be pleased with him -narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of al-Mokhtar ibn Muhammad al-Mokhtar al-Hamadani, on the authority of al-Fath ibn Yazid al-Gorgani, “I asked Abil Hassan (s), ‘What is the least degree of recognition?’ The Imam (s) replied, ‘It is the acknowledgement of God and that there is no other god; there is nothing like Him; there is nothing similar to Him; He is Stable, Eternal, Existing; He is never absent, and that there is nothing else like Him.’”
