Allah, the Majestic, the Most High, the Master and the Recourse to Who all man and Jinn turn for help in their difficulties and from Him they expect relief. Chapter 19 : Chapter on Motion and Change H 325, Ch. 19, h 1 Muhammad ibn abu 'Abdallah has narrated from Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Barmaki from Ali ibn 'Abbass al-Kharazini from al-Hassan ibn Rashid from Ya'qub ibn Ja'far al-Ja'fari, from abu Ibrahim (a.s.) Who has said the following.
"A people was mentioned, before the Imam (a.s.), who believed that Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, comes down to the sky above the earth." The Imam (a.s.) said, "Allah does not come down and He does not need to come down. His sight for near and far is the same. Near does not become far for Him and far does not become near for Him. He does not become needy for any thing but all things need Him and He is generous. There is no Lord except Him. He is Most Majestic and All-wise.
The statement that says Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, comes down to the sky over the earth can only come from those who consider Him to decrease or increase (in size). Besides, all moving objects need something to move it or move because of it. Whoever thinks of Allah as such has caused his own destruction.
Be very careful about the attributes of Allah to have a belief about them that would limit Him through increase or reduction, moving or being moved, removal or His coming down, standing up or sitting down. Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, is far from being described by those who would like to describe Him or being characterized by those who do so or pictured in imagination.
Have trust in Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Merciful Who sees you when you get up and when you change positions during prostration." H 326, Ch. 19, h 2 It is narrated from him (the narrator of the above Hadith), in a marfu' manner, from al-Hassan ibn Rashid from Ya'qub ibn Ja'far from abu Ibrahim (a.s.) who has said the following. "I do not say that he is standing so I would remove Him from His place. I do not limit Him in a place.
I do not limit Him by His moving in something with key elements of the body or body parts. I do not limit Him by ascribing the movements of mouth or tongue. The truth is what Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has said, Be and it comes into existence through His will without any planning in a soul. He is Self-sufficient and all alone.
