12. [12/384] al-Tawhid: My father from Sa’d from Ibn Abi al-Khattab from al-Bazanti who said
A group came from Beyond the River to Abi al-Hasan عليه السلام and said to him: We have come to ask you three questions. If you answer us in them we will know that you are the Scholar. He said: Ask. They said: Inform us about Allah - Where was He? How was He? Upon what thing was His reliance? He said: Allah Mighty and Majestic howed the how so he is without ‘how’ and whered the where so He is without ‘where’ and His reliance was on His Power. They said: We bear witness that you are the Scholar.
[384/12] التوحيد: أبي، عن سعد، عن ابن أبي الخطاب، عن البزنطي قال: جاء قوم من وراء النهر إلى أبي الحسن عليه السلام فقالوا له: جئناك نسألك عن ثلاث مسائل، فإن أجبتنا فيها علمنا أنك عالم، فقال: سلوا. فقالوا: أخبرنا عن الله أين
كان، وكيف كان، وعلى أي شئ كان اعتماده؟ فقال: إن الله عزوجل كيف الكيف فهو بلا كيف، وأين الاين فهو بلا أين، وكان اعتماده على قدرته فقالوا: نشهد أنك عالم
