Chapter 4 | Negation of Corporeality or Likeness for God
[336/8] التوحيد: ابن المتوكل، عن الحميري، عن ابن عيسى، عن ابن محبوب، عن يعقوب السراج قال: قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: إن بعض أصحابنا يزعم أن لله صورة مثل الانسان وقال آخر إنه في صورة أمرد جعد قطط! فخر أبو عبد الله عليه السلام ساجدا ثم رفع رأسه فقال: سبحان الله الذي ليس كمثله شئ، ولا تدركه الابصار، ولا يحيط به علم، لم يلد لان الولد يشبه أباه، ولم يولد فيشبه من كان قبله، ولم يكن له من خلقه كفوا أحد، تعالى عن صفة من سواه علوا كبيرا
8. [8/336] al-Tawhid: Ibn al-Mutawakkil from al-Himyari from Ibn Isa from Ibn Mahbub from Ya’qub al-Sarraj who said: I said to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام: One of our companions claims that Allah has a form like that of a human and another says that He is in the form of a beardless youth with very curly hair! Abu Abdillah عليه السلام fell down in prostration then he raised his head and said: Glory be to Allah whom there is nothing like Him. Vision cannot reach Him. Knowledge cannot encompass Him. He does not give birth for an off-spring resembles his parent. He was not born so that He could resemble one who came before Him. He will never have among His creatures any rival. Elevated is He from the description of the one who equates Him - a great elevation.
