13 - حدثنا حمزة بن محمد العلوي رحمه الله، قال: أخبرنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن عمر بن أذينة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام
في قوله عز وجل ﴿ما يكون من نجوى ثلاثة إلا هو رابعهم ولا خمسة إلا هو سادسهم ولا أدنى من ذلك ولا أكثر إلا هو معهم أين ما كانوا﴾ فقال: هو واحد، أحدي الذات، بائن من خلقه، وبذاك وصف نفسه، وهو بكل شئ محيط بالإشراف والإحاطة والقدرة لا يعزب عنه مثقال ذرة في السماوات ولا في الأرض ولا أصغر من ذلك ولا أكبر بالإحاطة والعلم لا بالذات لأن الأماكن محدودة تحويها حدود أربعة فإذا كان بالذات لزمه الحواية.
13. Hamzah ibn Muhammad al`-`Alawi 
said: `Ali ibn Ibrahim reported to us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of `Umar ibn Udhaynah,
that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq 
was asked to interpret the Word of the Mighty and High: Nowhere is there a secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of them, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor less than that nor more but He is with them where so ever they are. He said: He is One, Unique, and Evident to His Creation. He encompasses everything by supervision, omniscience, and omnipotence. Nothing in the Heavens and the Earth is distant from him, be it the size of an atom, or smaller or larger than that they he does not encompass through His knowledge. He encompasses everything by means of His Knowledge, but not by means of His Essence, because space is comprised of four dimensions. If He embraces everything by means of His Essence, there would imperatively be a boundary for Him.
