10 - حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أحمد، قال: حدثنا محمد بن عيسى، عن هشام بن إبراهيم، قال: قال العباسي قلت له - يعني أبا الحسن عليه السلام -: جعلت فداك أمرني بعض مواليك أن أسألك عن مسألة قال: ومن هو؟ قلت: الحسن بن سهل قال: في أي شئ المسألة؟ قال: قلت في التوحيد، قال: وأي شئ من التوحيد؟ قال: يسألك عن الله جسم أو لا جسم؟ قال: فقال لي: إن للناس في التوحيد ثلاثة مذاهب مذهب إثبات بتشبيه، و مذهب النفي، ومذهب إثبات بلا تشبيه. فمذهب الاثبات بتشبيه لا يجوز، ومذهب النفي لا يجوز، والطريق في المذهب الثالث إثبات بلا تشبيه.
10. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Muhammad ibn Yahya al-`Attar said: Muhammad ibn Ahmad said: Muhammad ibn `Isa said, on the authority of Hisham ibn Ibrahim who said: al-`Abbasi said I said to him , meaning Abu al-hasan al-Rida
: “May I be your ransom! One of your followers told me to ask you a question about something.” He
said: “And who would that be?” I said: “Al-Hasan ibn Sahl.” He
asked: “What is the issue about?’ I replied: “It is about Divine Unity.” He
said: “What about Divine Unity?” I said: “He wants to know whether Allah possesses a body or not?” He
answered me: There are three positions regarding Divine Unity. The first group attempts to describe Him through anthropomorphism. The second group attempts to describe Him through negation. And the third group attempts to describe Him without falling into anthropomorphism. Describing Him through anthropomorphism is not allowed, and describing Him through negation is not allowed. The correct position is attempting to describe him without falling into anthropomorphism.
