Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al Kafi (part 3) Chapter 8 : Chapter On Prohibition On Saying How Is Allah (al-kayfiyyah) H 242, Ch. 8, H 1 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri'ab from abu Basir From Imam abu Ja' far (a.s.) who has said the following. "Speak about the creation of Allah and do not speak about Allah His-self.

Speaking about the Allah's self does not increase anything to one's knowledge except more confusion." In another Hadith from Hariz it reads, "Speak about every thing but do not speak about Allah's self." H 243, Ch. 8, h 2 Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu 'Umayr from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj from Sulayman ibn Khalid from Imam abu 'Abdallah (a.s.), who has said the following.

"The words of Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious, that say, 'And that the final end is unto thy Lord." (53:42) instructs people to end a discussion that would take up Allah's self as an object of investigation." H 244, Ch. 8, h 3 Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu 'Umayr from abu Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Imam abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. "O Muhammad, people rationalize everything. They even speak about Allah's self.

When you hear such discources, say to them 'There is no god but Allah, the One and no one is similar to Him.'" H 245, Ch. 8, h 4 A group of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from ibn abu 'Umayr from Muhammad ibn Humran from abu 'Ubaydah (Ziyad ibn 'Isa) al- Hadhdha' from Imam abu Ja'far (a.s.) who has said the following. "O Ziyad, beware of debates because they create doubts, invalidate one's good deeds and turn one into a complete wreck.

One may say a thing, perhaps, he will not be forgiven. In the past there lived a people who ignored acquiring the necessary knowledge and instead they sought a knowledge that was not required of them. They came to speak of Allah's self and they became confused. Their extreme perplexity was such that if called from the front they would reply to the back and to the front if called from the back.'" In another Hadith it reads, "They totally banished on earth." H 246, Ch.

8, h 5 A group of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from some of his people from al-Husayn ibn al-Mayyah from his father from Imam abu 'Abdallh (a.s.) who has said the following.
