Original Arabic text

[-/9] امالي الصدوق: محمد بن محمد بن عصام، عن الكليني، عن علان، عن محمد بن الفرج الرخجي قال: كتبت إلى أبي الحسن علي بن محمد عليهما السلام أسأله عما قال هشام بن الحكم في الجسم، وهشام بن سالم في الصورة. فكتب عليه السلام: دع عنك حيرة الحيران واستعذ بالله من الشيطان، ليس القول ما قال الهشامان

Published English translation

9. [9/-] Amali of al-Saduq: Muhammad b. Muhammad b. Assam from al-Kulayni from Allan from Muhammad b. al-Faraj al-Rukhaji who said: I wrote to Abi al-Hasan Ali b. Muhammad عليهما السلام asking him about the position of Hisham b. al-Hakam regarding ‘the body’ and the position of Hisham b. Salim regarding ‘the human form’. He wrote: Leave the confusion of the confused, seek refuge in Allah from the Shaytan, the (true) position is not what was said by the two Hishams.

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
