حدثنا أبو الحسن محمد بن سعيد بن عزيز لسمرقندي الفقيه بأرض بلخ. قال: حدثنا أبو أحمد الزاهد السمرقندي بإسناده رفعه إلى الصادق عليه السلام أنه سأله رجل فقال له: إن أساس الدين التوحيد والعدل وعلمه كثير ولا بد لعاقل منه فاذكر ما يسهل الوقوف عليه ويتهيأ حفظه؟ فقال
أما التوحيد فأن لا تجوز على ربك ما جاز عليك، وأما العدل فألا تنسب إلى خالقك ما لامك عليه.
2. We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, Muhammed bin Sa’eed bin Aziz al-Samarqandi, the jurist – in the land of Balkh – that he said: We were told by Abu Ahmad, Zahid al-Samarqandi, with his chain of narrators,
that he ascribed to al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that a man asked him, to which he said: Indeed, the foundation of the religion is Monotheism and Justice, and its knowledge is abundant, and a rational person must have it. So, mention what can be easily stood upon and is attainable to memorize? Then he, peace be upon him, said: As for Monotheism, it is to proclaim as impossible upon your Lord that which is possibly upon you, and as for Justice, it is to not attribute to your Creator that which He has blamed you for.
