Chapter: The Commentary of Chapter 112 the Unity [al-Tawhid] 3 - قال الباقر عليه السلاÙ: حدثني أبي زين العابدين، عن أبيه الحسين بن علي عليه٠د الذي لا جوف له والص٠د الذي قد انتهى سؤدده، والص٠د الذي لا يأكل ولا يشرب، والص٠يزل ولا يزال.

قال الباقر عليه السلا٠د بن الحنفية رضي الله عنه يقول: الص٠بنفسه، الغني عن غيره، وقال غيره: الص٠تعالي عن الكون والفساد، والص٠د الذي لا يوصف بالتغاير. قال الباقر عليه السلا٠طاع الذي ليس فوقه آ٠ر وناه.

قال: وسئل علي بن الحسين زين العابدين عليه٠د الذي لا شريك له ولا يؤوده حفظ شئ ولا يعزب عنه شئ. 3. Al-Baqir (AS) related: my father Zayn al-`Abidin (AS) said that His father, al-Husayn ibn `Ali (AS), said; “The Needless [al-Samad] is He who has no deficiency [jawf]. He is the Possessor of Absolute Sovereignty. He does not eat or drink. He does not sleep. He is devoid of needs.

He does not surrender and He does not have an end.” Al-Baqir (AS) said: Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah (RA) used to say: “The Needless [alSamad] is He who is Independent and Self-Sufficient {Ghani] from others.

Someone other than him said: “The Needless is not subject to events and decline, and changes do not take place in Him.” Al-Baqir (AS) Said: “The Needless [al-Samad] is the Obeyed Master who no one commander.” He (AS) said: `Ali ibn al-Husayn Zayn al-`Abidin (AS) was asked about the Needless [alSamad], so he said: “The Needless is devoid of associates. Maintaining things does not tire Him, and nothing escapes Him.”
