Chapter 4 | Negation of Corporeality or Likeness for God

[329/1] امالي الصدوق: ابن الوليد، عن الصفار، عن ابن معروف، عن علي بن مهزيار قال: كتبت إلى أبي جعفر الثاني عليه السلام: جعلت فداك اصلي خلف من يقول بالجسم، ومن يقول بقول يونس - يعني ابن عبد الرحمن؟ فكتب عليه السلام لا تصلوا خلفهم ولا تعطوهم من الزكاة وابرؤوا منهم، برأ الله منهم

1. [1/329] Amali of al-Saduq: Ibn al-Walid from al-Saffar from Ibn Ma’ruf from Ali b. Mahziyar who said: I wrote to Abi Ja’far the Second عليه السلام: May I be made your ransom - should I pray behind the one who asserts (the doctrine of) ‘the body’ (God is corporeal) or the one who subscribes to the doctrine of Yunus - that is the son of Abd al-Rahman? He عليه السلام wrote: Do not pray behind them nor not give them anything of the Zakat. Disassociate from them. Allah has disassociated from them.
