Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya la-`Attar (RA) said: My father said, on the authority of Sahl ibn Ziyad al-Adami, on the authority of Ibn Mahbub, on the authority of who related to him that A man came to al-Sadiq (AS) and said: âAllah is the Greatest [Allahu Akbar]!â The Imam (AS) asked him, âWhat is Allah greater than?â The man answered, âGreater than everything!â Al-Sadiq (AS) replied, âYou have brought Allah down to the level of a door.â The requested, âWhat should I say then?â He (AS) said: âSay Allah is greater than anything that can be described.â
