Abu al-Hasan Muhammad ibn Sa`id ibn `Aziz al-Samarqandi, the Jurist at Balkh, said: Abu Ahmad Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Zahid al-Samarqandi with his own chain of narrators that he did not mention up to al-Sadiq (AS) that A man asked Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (AS): Verily, Divine Unity and Divine Justice are the foundations of faith. Since His Knowledge is so great, it is not possible for even a wise man to understand it all. So, teach me something that is easy to understand and easy to memorize.
He (AS) answered: âAs for Divine Unity, do not describe your Lord the way you describe yourself. As for Divine Justice, do not apply to your Lord any of the shortcomings that you may apply to yourself.â
