٦ - حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان، قال: حدثنا الحسن بن علي السكري، قال: حدثنا محمد بن زكريا الجوهري، عن جعفر بن محمد بن عمارة (٢)، عن أبيه، قال: سألت الصادق جعفر بن محمد (عليه السلام)، فقلت له: يا بن رسول الله، أخبرني عن الله، هل له رضا وسخط؟ فقال: نعم، وليس ذلك على ما يوجد من المخلوقين، ولكن غضب الله عقابه، ورضاه ثوابه (٣).
Ahmad b. al-Hasan al-Qattan narrated to us. He said: Al-Hasan b. `Ali al-Sikri narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Zakariyya al-Jawhari narrated to us from Ja`far b. Muhammad b. `Ammara from his father. He said: I asked al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad , saying to him: O son of the Messenger of Allah! Inform me regarding Allah: does He become pleased and discontented? So, he said: Yes, but not in the way that is present among the creatures. Rather, the anger of Allah is His punishment, and His pleasure is His reward.
