7. [7/304] al-Kafi: Ali b. Ibrahim from Muhammad b. Isa b. Ubayd from al-Hasan b. Mahbub from Ibn Riab and more than one from Abi Abdillahعليه السلام who said: Whoever worships Allah by imagining him then he has disbelieved. Whoever worships the name and not the meaning (essence behind the name) then he has disbelieved. Whoever worships both the name and the meaning then he has associated (God with another). Whoever worships the meaning (only) while applying the names to Him, which are His attributes which He described Himself by, setting his heart upon that, expressing it by his tongue, both in public and secret, then such are the true companions of the Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام. And in another report: those are the true believers.
