8. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi said: on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isma`il alBarmaki, on the authority of `Ali ibn al-`Abbas, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn `Abd alRahman al-Hammani that
I said to Abu al-Hasan Musa ibn Ja`far (AS): Hisham ibn al-Hakam thinks that Allah is a body. There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him, the All-knowing, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, the Omnipotent, the Speaker, and the Communicator. Speech, Omnipotence, and Knowledge flow from the One Same Source, None of these things are created. So he (AS) said: May Allah kill him! Does he not know that a body is limited, and that speech is other than the speaker? Allah forbid, I am free from such words. He is devoid of both body and image. He has not limits, and everything other than Him is created. Verily, everything that exists is the result of His Will and Intent which is expressed without words, the use of the tongue, or any reluctance or hesitation.
8 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد بن عمران الدقاق رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن محمد بن إسماعيل البرمكي، عن علي بن العباس، عن الحسن بن عبد الرحمن الحماني ، قال
قلت لأبي الحسن موسى ابن جعفر عليهما السلام: إن هشام بن الحكم زعم: أن الله جسم ليس كمثله شئ، عالم سميع، بصير، قادر متكلم، ناطق، والكلام والقدرة والعلم تجري مجرى واحدا ليس شئ منها مخلوقا، فقال: قاتله الله، أما علم أن الجسم محدود، والكلام غير المتكلم معاذ الله وأبرء إلى الله من هذا القول، لا جسم ولا صورة ولا تحديد، وكل شئ سواه مخلوق وإنما تكون الأشياء بإرادته ومشيته من غير كلام ولا تردد في نفس، ولا نطق بلسان.
