My father (RA) that Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said: Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Baqi said on the authority of his father, on the authority of `Ali ibn Nu`man, on the authority of Ishaq ibn `Ammar, on the authority of someone who heard it on the authority of Abu `Abd Allah (AS) that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) was asked to interpret the Word of Allah: `And the Jews say: The hand of Allah is tied up!â He said: They do not mean that literally.
What they mean is that âHis Command is complete.â Therefore, His Bounties do not increase nor decrease. So Allah, exalted by His glory, demonstrated the error of their view that their hands shall be shackled and they shall be cursed for what they say. Nay, both His hands are spread out, He expends as He pleases. Have you not heard Allah, the Mighty and High say: Allah makes to pass away and establishes what He pleases, and with Him is the basis of the Book?
