9. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ya`qub al-Kulayni, on the authority of `Ali ibn Muhammad, on the authority of Sahl ibn Ziyad, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Hamdani that
I wrote to Abu al-Hasan al-Naqi (AS), informing him that some of his following have differences on the subject of Divine Unity.

There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him; He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.” He (AS) may have said: “the All-Seeing.”
