hadith 133
Imam Ali (AS) said, Allah means the worshipped one, by Whom people are bewildered, and to Whom they are submissive. Allah is the One veiled from the grasp of sights, and the One hidden from imagination and contemplation.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اللّهُ مَعْناهُ المَعْبُودُ الّذِي يَأْلَهُ فِيْهِ الْخَلْقُ وَيُؤْلَهُ إلَيْهِ ، وَاللّهُ هُوَ المَسْتُورُ عَنْ دَرْكِ الأبْصَارِ ، المَحْجُوبُ عَنِ الأوْهَامِ وَالخَطَرَاتِ.

Imam al-Askari (AS) said, Allah is the One to Whom every creature resorts when he is in need or in hardship, when there is no hope in anyone but Him.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في تفسير قوله : اللّه ـ : هُوَ الّذي يَتَألَّهُ إليهِ عِندَ الحَوائِجِ وَ الشَّدائِدِ كُلُّ مَخلوقٍ عِندَ انقِطاعِ الرَّجاءِ مِن جَميعِ مَن هُوَ دونَهُ ، وتَقَطُّعِ الأسبابِ مِن كُلِّ مَن سِواهُ.

Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, Allah means the One who is worshipped and by Whom people are too bewildered to comprehend His essence and to fathom His identity.
الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اللّهُ مَعْنَاهُ المَعْبُودُ الّذِي ألِهَ الخَلْقُ عَنْ دَرْكِ مَاهِيَّتِهِ والإحَاطَةِ بِكَيْفِيَّتِهِ.
