1. Muhammad ibn `Ali Majilwayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Muhammad ibn Yahya al-`Attar said, on the authority of Sahl ibn al-Adami, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Marid that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) was questioned about the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High: The Most Compassionate is firm on the Empyrean, so he (AS) replied
“He is equal (in distance) to everything. Therefore, He is not closer to one thing than another.”
1 - حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن سهل بن زياد الآدمي، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن محمد بن مارد أن أبا عبد الله عليه السلام سئل عن قول الله عز وجل: (الرحمن على العرش استوى) فقال
استوى من كل شئ، فليس شئ هو أقرب إليه من شئ.
