وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ تَكَلَّ٠ُوا فِي كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَلا تَتَكَلَّ٠ُوا فِي ذَاتِ الله. 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 essence.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (1/321))
