The Book of Divine Unity · Hadith 211 (#Ḥadīth #2)

2 - أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن ابن فضال، عن أبي جميلة، عن محمد بن علي الحلبي، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قوله عز وجل: (يوم يكشف عن ساق) قال: تبارك الجبار، ثم أشار إلى ساقه فكشف عنها الإزار، قال: ويدعون إلى السجود فلا يستطيعون، قال: أفحم القوم ودخلتهم الهيبة، وشخصت الأبصار، وبلغت القلوب الحناجر، خاشعة أبصارهم ترهقهم ذلة وقد كانوا يدعون إلى السجود وهم سالمون. قال محمد بن علي مؤلف هذا الكتاب: قوله عليه السلام: تبارك الجبار وأشار إلى ساقه فكشف عنها الإزار، يعني به: تبارك الجبار أن يوصف بالساق الذي هذا صفته.

2. My father, may Allah have mercy on him, that Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashim on the authority of Ibn Fuddal on the authority of Abu Jamiilah on the authority Muhammad ibn `Ali al-Halabi that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq said regarding the Word of the Mighty and High: `On the Day when there shall be severe affliction.” He replied: “Blessed be the Supreme [Jabbar]! Then be pointed towards his shin, lifted the clothing which covered it, and read: “And they shall be called upon the make obeisance, but they shall not be able.”1 He then said: “The people will e silenced, fear will enter them, their eyes will look fixedly, their hearts will reach their throats, their eyes will be in a state of humbleness, and they will be humiliated when they are called upon to make obeisance, although they are sound.” Muhammad ibn `Ali the Compiler of this book says: What he meant by his statement “Blessed be the Supreme!” after which he pointed to his shin and uncovered it,” was “Blessed be the Supreme! He is far above having a shin, Who is such.”
