Original Arabic text

[1575/3] رجال الكشي: حمدويه و إبراهيم، قالا حدثنا محمد بن عيسى، قال حدثني هشام المشرقي إنه دخل على أبي الحسن الخراساني عليه السلام فقال: إن أهل البصرة سألوا عن الكلام، فقالوا: إن يونس يقول إن الكلام ليس بمخلوق فقلت لهم: صدق يونس إن الكلام ليس بمخلوق، أما بلغكم قول أبي جعفر عليه السلام حين سئل عن القرآن أخالق هو أو مخلوق؟ فقال لهم ليس بخالق و لا مخلوق إنما هو كلام الخالق، فقويت أمر يونس، و قالوا: إن يونس يقول إن من السنة أن يصلي الإنسان ركعتين و هو جالس بعد العتمة؟ فقلت: صدق يونس

[3/1575] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh and Ibrahim from Muhammad b. Isa from Hisham al-Mashriqi that he (i.e. Hisham) entered in to see Abi al-Hasan al-Khurasani (a.s.) who said: The people of Basra inquired about Divine Speech and said ‘Yūnus says that Divine Speech is not created!’ I said to them: ’Yūnus has spoken the truth, Divine Speech is not created. Has the statement of Abī Jaʿfar (a.s.) not reached you when he was asked about the Qur’an ‘is it a creator or created?’ He said to them: ’It is neither a creator nor created, rather it is the Speech of the Creator.’ Thus I strengthened the position of Yūnus. They (i.e. the people of Basra) also said ‘Yūnus says that it is from the Sunnah for a man to pray two units while seated after the final night prayer (i.e. ʿIshāʾ)’. I said: Yūnus has spoken the truth.
