أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن محمد بن عيسى اليقطيني، عن المشرقي حمزة بن الربيع، عمن ذكره، قال: كنت في مجلس أبي جعفر عليه السلام إذ دخل عليه عمرو بن عبيد فقال له: جعلت فداك قول الله عز وجل: " ومن يحلل عليه غضبي فقد هوى " ما ذلك الغضب؟ فقال: أبو جعفر عليه السلام هو العقاب يا عمرو إنه من زعم أن الله عزو جل قد زال من شئ إلى شئ فقد وصفه صفة مخلوق. فإن الله عز وجل لا يتنفره شئ ولا يعزه شئ
1.	My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Ahmad bin Idrees, from Ahmad bin Abdullah, from Muhammed bin ‘Isa al-Yaqteeni, from al-Mushriqi, from Hamza bin Rabee’, from those he mentioned, that he said: I was in the congregation of Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, and then ‘Amru bin Ubayd entered into him, and he said to him: May I be sacrificed for you, the saying of Allah: «And he upon whom descends My wrath, has indeed fallen» (20:82). What is that wrath? Then Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, said: It is the punishment, O Amru. Verily, he who claims that Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, has moved from one thing to another thing, he has indeed described him with the characteristic of a created, for indeed, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, is not incited by anything nor changed by anything.
