The Book of Divine Unity · Hadith 117 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4 - حدثنا حمزة بن محمد العلوي رحمه الله، قال: أخبرنا علي بن إبراهيم عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن علي بن عطية، عن خيثمة، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى خلو من خلقه، وخلقه خلو منه، وكل ما وقع عليه اسم شئ ما خلا الله عز وجل فهو مخلوق والله تعالى خالق كل شئ.

4. Hamzah ibn Muhammad al-`Alawi said: `Ali ibn Ibrahim on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of `Ali ibn `Atiyyah, on the authority of Khaythamah that Abu Ja`far al-Baqir said: Verily, Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, is free from His Creation, and His Creation is free from Him. Whatever can be defined by the word “thing” is a creation other than Allah, the Mighty and High. Allah, the Exalted, is the Creator of all things.
