2. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahbub, from those he mentioned, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said
A man said in his presence: Allah is Greater. So he said: Allah is Greater than what thing? Then he said: Than everything. Then Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: You have limited Him. Then the man said: And how shall I say? So he said: Allah is Greater than to be described.
حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل، قال: حدثني محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن سهل بن زياد، عن ابن محبوب، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
قال رجل عنده: " الله أكبر " فقال: الله أكبر من أي شئ؟ فقال: من كل شئ. فقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: حددته! فقال الرجل: وكيف أقول؟ فقال: الله أكبر من أن يوصف.
