Hadith 212

ubted in part of what I-asws had informed you, until he-la wanted to remove you away from the Road of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Straight Path’. I said, ‘When can I be convinced that they-asws are such, for they-asws are lords. Allah-azwj Forbid, they-asws be created beings, nourished, obedient to Allah-azwj, humble, wishful’. He-asws said: ‘When the Satan-la comes to you from a direction what he-la comes to you, the restrain him-la with what I-asws am informing you with’. I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! You-asws have relieved from me and uncovered what the accursed one had confused upon me, by your-asws explanation, for it had occurred in my mind that you (Imams-asws) are lords’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws performed Sajdah and he-asws was saying in his-asws Sajdah: ‘Rubbing my-asws nose to You-azwj, O my-asws Creator, submissively, humbly! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws did not cease to be like that until my night was gone. Then he-asws said: ‘O Fat’h! You were almost destroyed and caused (others to be) destroyed, and it would not harm Isa-as when the ones destroyed (from the Christians) is destroyed. You can leave whenever you so desire to. May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I went out and I was happy with what confusion Allah-azwj had Removed from me with them-asws, and I praised Allah-azwj upon what I had been able upon. When it was in the last stage, I entered to see him-asws, and he-asws was leaning, and there was tampered wheat in front of him-asws, having been sent with, and the Satan-la had occurred in my mind that it is not appropriate that they-asws would be eating and drinking, when that was a scourge, and the Imam-asws is without a scourge. He-asws said: ‘Be seated, O Fat’h, for there is an example for us with the Messengers-as. They-as were eating and drinking and walking in the markets, and everybody is being provided with this except the Creator, the Gracious/Sustainer, because He-azwj is not a Body of bodies, and He-azwj is not embodied and has not division, and cannot be increased, and not contradicted. He-azwj is exonerated from Himself-azwj. One whose description is, the One, the First, the Last Who does not beget and is not begotten [112: 3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112: 4]. Grower of the things, shaper of the bodies, and He-azwj is the Hearing, the Knowing, the Subtle, the Informed, the Kind, the Merciful, Blessed and Exalted from what they unjust ones are saying, Loftier, Great! Had He-azwj been like what they are describing, the Lord-azwj would not be recognised from the nourished, nor the Creator from the created beings, nor the Grower from the grown. But there is a difference between Him-azwj and the ones He-azwj Embodied and Cause
