7. Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil said: `Abd Allah ibn Ja`far said, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Mahbub that Maqatil ibn Sulayman related to me that
I asked Ja`far ibn Muhammad (AS) 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 to another.”
