حدثني غير واحد من أصحابنا، عن محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن محمد بن إسماعيل، قال: حدثنا الحسين بن الحسن، قال حدثنا بكر، عن القاسم بن عروة، عن عبد الحميد الطائي، عن محمد بن مسلم، قال: سألت أبا جعفر عليه السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: " ونفخت فيه من روحي " كيف هذا النفخ؟ فقال: إن الروح متحرك كالريح، وإنما سمي روحا لأنه اشتق اسمه من الريح، وإنما أخرجه على لفظة الروح لان الروح مجانس للريح، وإنما أضافة إلى نفسه لأنه اصطفاه على سائر الأرواح كما اصطفى بيتا من البيوت فقال: " بيتي " وقال لرسول من الرسل: " خليلي " وأشباه ذلك [وكل ذلك] مخلوق مصنوع محدث مربوب مدبر.
12.	I was told by more than one of our companions, from Muhammed bin Abi Abdillah al-Kufi, from Muhammed bin Isma’il, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Hasan, that he said: We were told by Bikr, from Qasim bin Urwa, from Abdul-Hameed al-Ta’I, from Muhammed bin Muslim, that he said: I asked Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And I blew into him from My Spirit» (15:29). How was this blowing? So he said: «Indeed, the Spirit is moving like the wind, and it was only named a Spirit [1] because its name was derived from wind [2], and He only extracted it on the phrase of Spirit because a spirit is homogenic to wind, and He only added it to Himself because He selected it over other spirits, like how He has selected one house among the houses and said: My House, and how He said to a Messenger among the Messengers: My Good Friend, and the likes of so. All of that is created, made, subject to a Lord and is managed.
