[٣٥٦/٧] التوحيد: ابن الوليد، عن الصفار وسعد معا، عن ابن عيسى، عن أبيه، والحسين ابن سعيد، ومحمد البرقي، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم قال: دخلت على أبي عبد الله عليه السلام فقال لي: أتنعت الله؟ قلت: نعم، قال: هات. فقلت: هو السميع البصير. قال: هذه صفة يشترك فيها المخلوقون. قلت: فكيف ننعته؟ فقال: هو نور لاظلمة فيه، وحياة لاموت فيه، وعلم لاجهل فيه، وحق لا باطل فيه، فخرجت من عنده وأنا أعلم الناس بالتوحيد
7. [7/356] al-Tawhid: Ibn al-Walid from al-Saffar and Sa’d together from Ibn Isa from his father and al-Husayn b. Sai’d and Muhammad al-Barqi from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham b. Salim who said: I entered upon Abi Abdillah عليه السلام. He said to me: Can you describe Allah? I said: Yes. He said: Bring it (the description) forth. I said: He is The Seeing, The Hearing. He said: This is an attribute which He shares with His creation. I said: So how do we describe Him? He (the Imam) said: He is Light (with) no darkness in Him. Life (with) no death in Him. Knowledge (with) no ignorance in Him. Truth (with) no falsehood in Him. (Hisham says:) Thus I came out from him (the Imam) being the most knowledgeable of people in Tawhid.
