Hadith 51

d from it He-azwj Ascends to the sky’. And they described Him-azwj as being with the fingertips, so they said, ‘Muhammad-saww said: ‘I-saww felt the coolness of His-azwj fingertips upon my-saww heart’. Therefore, for the lie of these descriptions Lord-azwj of the Throne Said: ‘Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are ascribing [6: 100]. He-azwj Says, He-azwj is Lord-azwj of the Lofty Example from what they are resembling Him-azwj with, and for Allah-azwj is the Lofty Example which nothing resembles Him-azwj, nor can He-azwj be described, nor imagined. So that is the Lofty Example. And He-azwj Described those who were not Given benefits of knowledge from Allah-azwj, so they described their Lord-azwj with lowly examples and resembled Him-azwj with the resemblances from them, among what they Made with Him-azwj. So, for that, He-azwj Said: and you are not Given from the knowledge (of it) except a little’ [17: 85]. So there is neither any resemblance for Him-azwj, nor example, nor equation. And for Allah are the most Beautiful Names, – which no one can be named with this apart from Him-azwj, and these are which He-azwj had Described in the Book, so He-azwj Said: therefore supplicate by these, and leave those who are distorting in His Names, [7: 180], in ignorance, without knowledge. So the one who distorts in His-azwj Names out of ignorance, without knowledge, he is associating while he does not know, and he is blaspheming with Him-azwj while he is thinking he is doing good. So for that, He-azwj Said: And most of them do not believe in Allah except and they are associating [12: 106]. So they are those who are distorting in His-azwj Names without knowledge, and they are placing these in other than their (appropriate) places. O Hanan! Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Commanded to take a people as friends, so they are those He-azwj has Given them the merit and Specialised them with that He-azwj has not Specialised others. He-azwj Sent Muhammad-saww, so he-saww was the pointer to Allah-azwj by the Permission of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic until he-saww passed away pointing to a guide. So his-saww successors-asws stood from after him-saww as a pointer, a guide to what he‑saww had been pointing upon, from the matters of his-saww Lord-azwj, from the apparent of his‑asws knowledge. Then the rightly guiding Imams-asws’’. [55]
Note: Not that this Hadeeth is from the allegorical and from the hidden ambiguities, and the apparent is that it has occurred from the reporters and scribed who did not understand its meaning of corrections and alterations as well. So, for that reason, I (Majlisi) summarised the speech in it, and what I have mentioned, rather it is upon the way of possibility, and Allah-azwj Knows and so do His-azwj Divine Authorities, the realities of their-asws speech.
