15. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah al-Barqi, from his father, from Ali bin Nu’man, from Ishaq bin Ammar, from those
he heard, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said with regards to the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And the Jews said: The Hand of Allah is chained» (5:64) They did not mean that it is as such, however, they said: He has completed the matter, and so He does not add nor subtract, to which Allah, Glorified be His Glory, said in denial of their saying: «Chained be their hands! And they were cursed for what they said. Rather, His Hands are extended; He spends how He wishes.» (5:64) Have you not heard Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, say: «Allah erases what He wishes, and He confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book» (13:39)?
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه، عن علي بن النعمان، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عمن سمعه، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام
أنه قال: في قول الله عز وجل: " وقالت اليهود يد الله مغلولة " لم يعنوا أنه هكذا، ولكنهم قالوا: قد فرغ من الامر فلا يزيد ولا ينقص (2). فقال الله جل جلاله تكذيبا لقولهم: " غلت أيديهم ولعنوا بما قالوا بل يداه مبسوطتان ينفق كيف يشاء " ألم تسمع الله عز وجل يقول: " يمحو الله ما يشاء ويثبت وعنده أم الكتاب ".
