10. My father (RA) said: `Ali ibn Ibrahim said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn Mahbub, on the authority of Hammad ibn `Amr, that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said
“Verily, whoever claims that Allah, the Mighty and High, is in a thing or from a thing or on a thing ahs uttered a lied.” The Compiler (RA) of this book says: The proof that Allah, the Mighty and High, is not in space is that space is caused. The proof has already been established that Allah, that the Mighty and High, is without beginning, and existed prior to the existence of space. It is not permissible to say that the Self-Sufficient [Ghani] without Beginning [Qadim] may be in need of anything, nor that He may change from what He has always been. Therefore, it is correct to say that He is not in a place since He has never been subjected to space. The proof for this is (to be found in the following traditions):
10 - حدثنا أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن ابن محبوب عن حماد بن عمرو، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
كذب من زعم أن الله عز وجل في شئ أو من شئ أو على شئ. قال مصنف هذا الكتاب رضي الله عنه: الدليل على أن الله عز وجل لا في مكان أن الأماكن كلها حادثة، وقد قام الدليل على أن الله عز وجل قديم سابق للأماكن، وليس يجوز أن يحتاج الغني القديم إلى ما كان غنيا عنه، ولا أن يتغير عما لم يزل موجودا عليه، فصح اليوم أنه لا في مكان كما أنه لم يزل كذلك وتصديق ذلك:
