10. [10/346] al-Tawhid: My father from Sa’d from al-Barqi from Ibn Yazid from Hammad b. Isa from Rib’i b. Abdallah from al-Fudhayl b. Yasar who said: I heard Aba Abdillah عليه السلام saying: Allah Mighty and Majestic cannot be described (as He really is). He (Fudhayl) said: Zurara said: Abu Ja’far عليه السلام said: Allah Mighty and Majestic cannot be described with (having) any Incapacity.How can He be described (as He really is) when He says in His book: “they have not estimated Allah His true estimate” (39:67)? Thus He is not described with (a level of) power except that He is greater than that.

- Arabic and English texts preserved verbatim from pinned snapshot. Compiler introduction excluded where present; references mapped to fields; assessment whitespace trimmed; source-supplied English sanad retained separately. Search normalization is not applied to displayed text.
- 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.
