We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, from Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Muhammed bin ‘Isa, from al-Mushriqi, from Abu’l-Hasan al-Rida, peace be upon him, that he said: I heard him say: «Rather, His Hands are extended» (5:64) so I said: Does He have two hands, like this? And I pointed with my hand towards his hands. Then he said: No, if He was like this, He would have been created (thing).
