The Meanings of Reports · Hadith 41 (#Ḥadīth #16)

حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - عن محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن المشرقي، عن أبي الحسن الرضا عليه السلام قال: سمعته يقول: " بل يداه مبسوطتان ". فقلت له: يدان هكذا - وأشرت بيدي إلى يديه - فقال: لا، لو كان هكذا لكان مخلوقا.

16. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, from Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Muhammed bin ‘Isa, from al-Mushriqi, from Abu’l-Hasan al-Rida, peace be upon him, that he said: I heard him say: «Rather, His Hands are extended» (5:64) so I said: Does He have two hands, like this? And I pointed with my hand towards his hands. Then he said: No, if He was like this, He would have been created (thing).
