6. [6/316] al-Tawhid: My father from Ali from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham b. al-Hakam who said
Abu Shakir al-Daysani said: There is a verse in the Qur’an which supports us (the Dualists who believe in two gods). I said: Which one is it? He said: “and He is the One who is god in Heaven and on Earth god” (43:84). I did not know how to answer him. I made the pilgrimage and informed Aba Abdillah عليه السلام (about this). He said: These are the words of a wretched heretic. When you go back say to him: ‘What is your name in Kufa?’ he will say ‘so and so’, then say: ‘What do they call you in Basra?’ he will say ‘so and so’ (the same name). Then say: In the same way is Allah our Lord – (He is Called) God in Heaven and God on Earth, and in the oceans God, and God in every place. He (Hisham) said: I returned and proceeded to Aba Shakir an/d informed him of this. He said: This has been relayed from the Hijaz (i.e. the Imam in Madina).
[316/6] التوحيد: أبي، عن علي، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن الحكم قال
قال أبو شاكر الديصاني: إن في القرآن آية هي قوة لنا. قلت: وما هي ؟ فقال: وَهُوَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ إِلَٰهٌ وَفِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَٰهٌ فلم أدر بما اجيبه، فحججت فخبرت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام فقال: هذا كلام زنديق خبيث، إذا رجعت إليه فقل له: ما اسمك بالكوفة؟ فإنه يقول: فلان، فقل: ما اسمك بالبصرة؟ فانه يقول: فلان، فقل كذلك الله ربنا في السماء إله وفي الارض إله، وفي البحار إله، وفي كل مكان إله. قال: فقدمت فأتيت أبا شاكر فأخبرته فقال: هذه نقلت من الحجاز
