My father, may Allah have mercy on him, said that Sad ibn `Abd Allah said: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Isa, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isma`il ibn Bazi` on the authority of Mansur ibn Yunus on the authority of Jalis for Abu Hamzah on the authority of Abu Hamzah that I asked Abu Ja`far al-baqir (AS) about the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High: Everything is perishable but He (His Face). He (AS) replied:Everything will perish, but the Face [al-wajh] will remain.
Verily, Allah, the Mighty and High, is Greater than being attributed with a face. However, the meaning of this is that everything will perish except His Religion and Face, from which He bestows.
