Hadith 9

writing the deeds of His‑azwj servants. And He-azwj Enslaved the people of the earth with performing Tawaaf around His‑azwj House. And Allah-azwj Evened upon the Throne [20: 5], just as He-azwj Said. And the Throne, and the ones carrying it, and the ones around the Throne, and Allah-azwj is their Carrier and their Protector, with Withholder, the Custodian upon every soul, and above all things, and upon all things, nor He-azwj be said ‘carried’, nor ‘below’. An individual word cannot be connected with anything, so it would spoil the wordings and the meaning’. Abu Qurra said, ‘So you-asws are belying the reports which have come that Allah-azwj the Exalted, when He-azwj is Angered, His-azwj Angered is recognised by the Angels, those who are carrying the Throne. They feel it’s weight upon their shoulders, so they fall down in Sajdah. When the Anges is gone, it becomes light and they return to their positions’. Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘Inform me-asws about Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted, since He‑azwj Cursed Iblees-la up to this day of yours, He-azwj is Angered upon him-la. So when has He-azwj been Pleased, and He-azwj, in your description, did not cease to be Angered upon him-la and upon his-la friends, and upon his-la followers? How can you be so audacious in describing your Lord-azwj with the changes, from a state to a state, and that it flows upon Him-azwj what tends to flow upon the created beings. Glorious is He-azwj and Exalted. He-azwj did not move with the movers, and does not change with the changing nes, and does not get replaced with the replaced ones! And the ones besides Him‑azwj are in His-azwj Hands, and His-azwj Management, and all of them are needy to Him-azwj and He‑azwj is Needless from the ones besides Him-azwj’’. [11]
