6. `Abd Al-Wahid ibn Muhammad ibn `Abdus al-Naysaburi al-`Attar (RA) said in Naysabur year 352 AH that `Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Qutaybah al-Naysaburi said that I heard al-Fadl ibn Shadhan that when I was present, a dualist asked Abu al-Hasan `Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (AS): “I say: Verily, there are two producers of the Universe. Then what is the proof that He is One?” Consequently, he (AS) replied, “You statement: “Verily, He is two” is proof that He is One, because you have not claimed the second except after ascertaining the One. Therefore, One is agreed upon, and more than one is disagreed.
6 - حدثنا عبد الواحد بن محمد بن عبدوس النيسابوري العطار رضي الله عنه، بنيسابور سنة اثنتين وخمسين وثلاثمائة، قال: حدثنا علي بن محمد بن قتيبة النيسابوري قال
سمعت الفضل بن شاذان يقول: سأل رجل من الثنوية أبا الحسن علي بن موسى الرضا عليهما السلام، وأنا حاضر فقال له: إني أقول: إن صانع العالم اثنان، فما الدليل على أنه واحد؟ فقال: قولك: إنه اثنان دليل على أنه واحد لأنك لم تدع الثاني إلا بعد إثباتك الواحد، فالواحد مجمع عليه وأكثر من واحد مختلف فيه . باب الرد على الذين قالوا إن الله ثالث ثلاثة: وما من إله إلا إله واحد
