Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. Musa b. Babuwayh al-Qummi (ra) narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Muhammad b. `Asim al-Kulayni narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Ya`qub al-Kulayni from `Ali b. Muhammad also known as `Alan from Muhammad al-Faraj al-Rakhji. He said: I wrote to Abi’l Hasan `Ali b. Muhammad b. `Ali b. Musa b. Ja`far b. Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. `Ali b. Abi Talib (as) asking him about what Hisham b. al-Hakam said regarding the body [of Allah] and what Hisham b. Salim said regarding the form. So, he (as) wrote: Leave the perplexity of the perplexed and seek refuge in Allah from Satan. The [correct] doctrine is not what the two Hishams have said.

2 - حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن الصقر بن دلف (2)، قال سألت أبا الحسن علي بن محمد بن علي ابن موسى الرضا (عليهم السلام) عن التوحيد، وقلت له إني أقول بقول هشام بن الحكم، فغضب (عليه السلام)، ثم قال: مالكم ولقول هشام، إنه ليس منا من زعم أن الله جسم،  ونحن منه براء في الدنيا والآخرة. يا بن دلف، إن الجسم محدث، والله محدثه ومجسمه (1).

Musa al-Rida (as) about monotheism, and I said that I take the doctrine of Hisham b. al-Hakam. So, he (as) became angry and said: What is with you and the doctrine of Hisham? Whoever alleges that Allah is a body is not of us, and we dissociate from him in this world and the Hereafter. O Ibn Dulf! Surely, a body is generated, and Allah is its generator and its maker.

He said: I wrote to Abi Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali b. Musa al-Rida (as): May I be your sacrifice! I pray behind one who claims the doctrine of the body and takes the doctrine of Yunus b. `Abd al-Rahman. So, he (as) wrote: Do not pray behind them, and do not give them zakat. I dissociate from them, and Allah dissociates from them.

He said: I was with Aba Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali al-Baqir (as) when a man visited him from the Khawarij. So, he said: O Aba Ja`far! What do you worship? He said: Allah. He said: Did you see Him? He said: The vision of eyes cannot comprehend Him. Rather, it is the hearts that will see Him through the realities of faith. He is not known by analogies, nor is He comprehended by the senses, nor can He be compared to the people. He is described by His signs and He is known by His indicators. He does not oppress in His wisdom – surely, this is Allah, there is no deity except Him. So the man left while saying, “Allah is most knowing of where He places His message” (6:124).

So, I said to him: O son of the Messenger of Allah! There are a people who say: “He never ceased to be Knowing with knowledge, Powerful with power, Living with life, Everlasting with lastingness, Hearing with the ability to hear, and Seeing with sight.” So, he (as) said: Whoever says that and that which is close to that has taken other gods besides Allah; they are not upon our wilaya at all. Then, he (as) said: Allah never ceased to be Knowing, Powerful, Living, Everlasting, Hearing, and Seeing by His Essence. He is far above what the pagans and those who liken Him to His creation say.

9 - حدثنا محمد بن علي ما جيلويه، قال: حدثنا عمي محمد بن أبي  القاسم، قال: حدثنا محمد بن علي القرشي، عن محمد بن سنان، عن المفضل بن عمر، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام)، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن الله جل جلاله أوحى إلى الدنيا: أن أتعبي من خدمك، واخدمي من رفضك، وإن العبد إذا تخلى بسيده في جوف الليل المظلم وناجاه، أثبت الله النور في قلبه، فإذا قال: يا رب يا رب، ناداه الجليل جل جلاله: لبيك عبدي، سلني أعطك، وتوكل علي أكفك، ثم يقول جل جلاله لملائكته: يا ملائكتي، أنظروا إلى عبدي، فقد تخلى بي في جوف الليل المظلم، والبطالون لا هون، والغافلون نيام، اشهدوا أني قد غفرت له. ثم قال (عليه السلام): عليكم بالورع والاجتهاد والعبادة، وزوهدوا في هذه الدنيا الزاهدة فيكم، فإنها غرارة، دار فناء وزوال، كم من مغتر بها قد أهلكته، وكم من واثق بها قد خانته، وكم من معتمد عليها قد خدعته وأسلمته، واعلموا أن أمامكم طريقا مهولا، وسفرا بعيدا، وممركم على الصراط، ولا بد للمسافر من زاد، فمن لم يتزود وسافر عطب وهلك، وخير الزاد التقوى، ثم اذكروا وقوفكم بين يدي الله جل جلاله، فإنه الحكم العدل، واستعدوا لجوابه إذا سألكم، فإنه لابد سائلكم عما عملتم بالثقلين من بعدي، كتاب الله، وعترتي، فانظروا أن لا تقولوا: أما الكتاب فغيرنا وحرفنا، وأما العترة ففارقنا وقتلنا، فعند ذلك لا يكون جزاؤكم إلا النار، فمن أراد منكم أن يتخلص من هول ذلك اليوم، فليتول وليي، وليتبع وصيي وخليفتي من بعدي علي ابن أبي طالب، فإنه صاحب حوضي، يذود عنه أعداءه، ويسقي أولياءه، فمن لم يسق منه لم يزل عطشان ولم يرو أبدا، ومن سقي منه شربة لم يشق ولم يظمأ أبدا، وإن علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام) لصاحب لوائي في الآخرة، كما كان صاحب لوائي في الدنيا، وإنه أول من يدخل الجنة، لانه يقدمني وبيده لوائي، تحته آدم ومن دونه من الانبياء (1).

Muhammad b. `Ali Majiluwayh narrated to us. He said: My uncle Muhammad b. Abi’l Qasim narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. `Ali al-Qurashi narrated to us from Muhammad b. Sinan from al-Mufaddal b. `Umar from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers. He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Surely, Allah revealed to this world: “Tire those who serve you and serve those who reject you.” If a servant were to seek his Master alone in the darkness of the night and whisper to Him, Allah would secure the light in his heart. If he were to say: “O Lord! O Lord!”, the Majestic will call to him: “I am at your service, My servant. Ask Me and I will grant you. Rely on Me and I will suffice for you.” Then, He will say to His angels: “O My angels! Look at My servant. He has sought Me alone in the darkness of the night; and the vain ones are not here, and the heedless are asleep. Bear witness that I have forgiven him.” Then, he (as) said: Betake to piety, striving, and worship. Be ascetic in this world that is ascetic toward you, for surely, it is deception. It is the abode of annihilation and evanescence. How many have been deceived by it yet were destroyed by it? How many have trusted it yet were betrayed by it? How many have relied on it yet were fooled and defeated by it? Know that before you is a dreadful path and a long journey. You will pass through the Path, and you will need supplies. Whoever journeys without preparing supplies will perish. The best supply is God-consciousness. Then, remember that you will stand before Allah, for surely, He is the Judgment and the Justice. Prepare your answer to His question, for He will surely ask you about how you treated the two heavyweights after me: the Book of Allah and my progeny. Be careful not to say: “As for the Book, we have changed it and we have interpolated it; and as for the progeny, we have abandoned them and we have killed them.” At that, you will have no recompense except the Fire. Whoever of you would like to be delivered from the horror of that Day should align with my wali and follow my deputy and my vicegerent after me, `Ali b. Abi Talib; for surely, he is the master of my Pond. He will repel my enemies from it and he will feed my friends from it. Whoever is not fed from it will forever be thirsty and never be quenched, and whoever drinks from it will never suffer or thirst. Surely, `Ali b. Abi Talib (as) is my standard bearer in the Hereafter, just as he was my standard bearer in this world. Surely, he will be the first to enter Paradise, because he will be before me with my standard in his hand. Beneath him will be Adam and those after him from the prophets.
