1. My father (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ahmad ibn Idris related to me on the authority of Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah, on the authority of Muhammad ibn `Isa al-Yaqtini, on the authority of al-Mashriqi, on the authority of Hamzah ibn al-Rabi`, on the authority of one he mentioned that
I was in the presend of Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) when `Amr ibn `Ubayd entered and aked, “May I be your ransom! What is the wrath which is referred to in the Word of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted: And to whomsoe ver My Wrath is due shall perish indeed?1 Thus, Abu Ja`far (AS) replied. O `Amr! That is punishment. Verily, whoever claims that Allah, the Mighty and High, declines from one thing to another, then he has certainly given Him an attribute of the created. Verily, nothing instigates Allah, the Mighty and High, and nothing modifies Him.
1 - حدثنا أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثني أحمد بن إدريس، عن أحمد بن أبي - عبد الله، عن محمد عيسى اليقطيني، عن المشرقي، عن حمزة بن الربيع (٣)، عمن ذكره، قال
كنت في مجلس أبي جعفر عليه السلام إذ دخل عليه عمرو بن عبيد فقال له جعلت فداك قول الله تبارك وتعالى: ﴿ومن يحلل عليه غضبي فقد هوى﴾ (٤) ما ذلك الغضب؟ فقال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: هو العقاب يا عمرو، إنه من زعم أن الله عز وجل زال من شئ إلى شئ فقد وصفه صفة مخلوق، إن الله عز وجل لا يستفزه شئ ولا يغيره.
