3. Al-Baqir (AS) related: my father Zayn al-`Abidin (AS) said that His father, al-Husayn ibn `Ali (AS), said; “The Needless [al-Samad] is He who has no deficiency [jawf]. He is the Possessor of Absolute Sovereignty. He does not eat or drink. He does not sleep. He is devoid of needs. He does not surrender and He does not have an end.” Al-Baqir (AS) said
Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah (RA) used to say: “The Needless [alSamad] is He who is Independent and Self-Sufficient {Ghani] from others. Someone other than him said: “The Needless is not subject to events and decline, and changes do not take place in Him.” Al-Baqir (AS) Said: “The Needless [al-Samad] is the Obeyed Master who no one commander.” He (AS) said: `Ali ibn al-Husayn Zayn al-`Abidin (AS) was asked about the Needless [alSamad], so he said: “The Needless is devoid of associates. Maintaining things does not tire Him, and nothing escapes Him.”
3 - قال الباقر عليه السلام: حدثني أبي زين العابدين، عن أبيه الحسين بن علي عليهم السلام
أنه قال: الصمد الذي لا جوف له والصمد الذي قد انتهى سؤدده، والصمد الذي لا يأكل ولا يشرب، والصمد الذي لا ينام، والصمد الدائم الذي لم يزل ولا يزال. قال الباقر عليه السلام: كان محمد بن الحنفية رضي الله عنه يقول: الصمد القائم بنفسه، الغني عن غيره، وقال غيره: الصمد المتعالي عن الكون والفساد، والصمد الذي لا يوصف بالتغاير. قال الباقر عليه السلام: الصمد السيد المطاع الذي ليس فوقه آمر وناه. قال: وسئل علي بن الحسين زين العابدين عليهما السلام، عن الصمد، فقال: الصمد الذي لا شريك له ولا يؤوده حفظ شئ ولا يعزب عنه شئ.
