Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (RA) said: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan alSaffar, on the authority of Muhammad ibn `Isa ibn `Ubayd, on the authority of `Abd al-Rahman ibn Abu Najran that I asked Abu Ja`far the Second (AS) about Divine Unity [Tawhid], so I said: âIs He presumed to be a thing?â Consequently, he (AS) replied: Yes. However, since He is Incomprehensible, and Unlimited, He is unlike anything you can conceive. Nothing resembles Him. Imagination perceives Him not.
And how could imagination perceive Him when He is beyond all imagination? He is an Imagined Thing which is Incomprehensible and Unlimited.
