I heard Abu Ibrahim Musa ibn Ja'far al-Kadhim (as) speaking to a Christian monk. He said to him in some of their debate: “Indeed, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, is too exalted and greater to be confined by a hand or foot or movement or stillness, or to be described by height or shortness, or to be comprehended by imaginations, or to be encompassed by the qualities of minds. He revealed His exhortations, promises, and warnings, commanding without lips or tongue, but as He willed to say ‘Be,’ and it was a decree as He intended in the Tablet.”
