13. Abu Talib al-Muzaffar ibn Ja`far ibn al-Muzaffar al-`Alawi al-Samarqandi (RA) said: Ja`far ibn Muhammad ibn Mas`ud said, on the authority of his father Muhammad ibn Mas`ud al189 `Ayyashi that al-Husayn ibn Ishkib said
Harun ibn `Uqbah al-Khuza`I reported to me, on the authority of Asad ibn SA`id al-Nakha`I that `Amr ibn Shimr reported to me, on the authority of Jabir ibn Yazid al-Ju`fi that Muhammad ibn `Ali al-Baqir (AS) said: O Jabir! The people of Syria have slandered Allah, the Mighty and High, in the most terrible way. They claim that Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, places His Foot on the Dome of the Rock when He ascends to heaven. Verily, it was but a servant from among the servants of Allah who placed his foot over the stone; hence, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, commanded us to take it as a place of prayer. O Jabir! Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has no rival [nazir] or anything that resembles him. Exalted is He from the attribute of the attributers! He is far above the imaginations of the imaginers. He is covered from the eyes of the seeing. He does not decline with the decliners, and does not set with the transitory. There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him; He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
13 - حدثنا أبو طالب المظفر بن جعفر بن المظفر العلوي السمرقندي رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسعود، عن أبيه محمد بن مسعود العياشي قال: حدثنا الحسين بن إشكيب، قال: أخبرني هارون بن عقبة الخزاعي، عن أسد بن سعيد النخعي، قال أخبرني عمرو بن شمر، عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي، قال
قال محمد بن علي الباقر عليهما السلام: يا جابر ما أعظم فرية أهل الشام على الله عز وجل، يزعمون أن الله تبارك وتعالى حيث صعد إلى السماء وضع قدمه على صخرة بيت المقدس ولقد وضع عبد من عباد الله قدمه على حجره فأمرنا الله تبارك وتعالى أن نتخذه مصلى، يا جابر إن الله تبارك وتعالى لا نظير له ولا شبيه، تعالى عن صفة الواصفين، وجل عن أوهام المتوهمين، واحتجب عن أعين الناظرين لا يزول مع الزائلين. ولا يأفل مع الآفلين، ليس كمثله شئ وهو السميع العليم.
