The Book of Divine Unity · Hadith 43 (#Ḥadīth #7)

7 - أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن إبراهيم بن هاشم، و يعقوب بن يزيد جميعا، عن ابن فضال، عن ابن بكير، عن زرارة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، قال: سمعته يقول في قوله عز وجل: ﴿وله أسلم من في السماوات والأرض طوعا وكرها﴾ قال: هو توحيدهم لله عز وجل.

7. My Father (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashim; ad Ya`qub ibn Yazid both of them on the authority of Ibn Fuddal, on the authority of Ibn Bukayr, on the authority of Zurarah that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq was asked to interpret the Word of the Mighty and High: And to Him submits whoever is in heavens and the Earth, willingly or unwillingly.1 He said: “They are bound to the belief in the Unity of Allah, the Mighty and High.”
