8.	We were told by Ali bin Ahmad bin Muhammed, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Abi Abdillah al-Kufi, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Isma’il, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Hasan, that he said: We were told by Bikr, from Abu Abdillah al-Barqi, from Abdullah bin Yahya, from Abu Ayub al-Khazzaz, from Muhammed bin Muslim, that he said: I asked Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, and said: His saying, Exalted and Glorious is He: «O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to what My Hands created?» (38:75) So he said: The hand, in the words of the Arabs, is strength and grace.
