No one of them is created.’” The Imam said, “May Allah be his foe. Does he not know that the body is limited, and that the speech is other than what the speaker is? I seek refuge from Allah and I disclaim such words. Allah does not have a body, form or any kind of limitations. Allah has created everything.

He creates things as and when He wills without any word or planing in the mind or utterance of the tongue.” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/7)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
