4. My father (RA) that Ahmad ibn Idris said: Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Jabbar, on the authority of Safwan ibn Yahya, on the authority of `Ali ibn Abu Hamzah that
I said to Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS): I heard Hisham ibn al-Hakam narrating from you that Allah, the Mighty and High, has a Needless body of Light; His Recognition is necessary, and He grants it to whoever He desires from His Creation. He (AS) said: Glory to Him who is known only to Himself! There is none like Him, and He is the AllHearing and the Al-Seeing. He cannot be confined, sensed, touched, or felt. The senses perceive Him not, and nothing can comprehend Him. He does not have a body or an image, nor lineation or delineation.
4 - أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس، قال: حدثنا محمد بن عبد الجبار، عن صفوان بن يحيى، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، قال
قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: سمعت هشام بن الحكم يروي عنكم: أن الله عز وجل جسم، صمدي، نوري، معرفته ضرورة، يمن بها على من يشاء من خلقه فقال عليه السلام: سبحان من لا يعلم أحد كيف هو إلا هو، ليس كمثله شئ، وهو السميع البصير، لا يحد، ولا يحس، ولا يجس ولا يمس، ولا تدركه الحواس، لا يحيط به شئ، لا جسم، ولا صورة، ولا تخطيط، ولا تحديد.
