۞
16. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-`Attar (may Allah have mercy on him) said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Sahl ibn Ziyad, on the authority of some of our scholars that
I wrote to Abu al-Hasan al-Kadhim (AS) asking him about the body and image of Allah, so he replied in writing: “Glory be to Him who has nothing whatsoever like unto Him, and who is devoid of both body and image.”
16 - حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار رحمه الله، عن أبيه، عن سهل بن زياد، عن بعض أصحابنا، قال
كتبت إلى أبي الحسن عليه السلام أسأله عن الجسم و الصورة، فكتب: سبحان من ليس كمثله شئ ولا جسم ولا صورة.
