سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ لَمْ يَزَلِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَبَّنَا وَ الْعِلْمُ ذَاتُهُ وَ لَا مَعْلُومَ وَ السَّمْعُ ذَاتُهُ وَ لَا مَسْمُوعَ وَ الْبَصَرُ ذَاتُهُ وَ لَا مُبْصَرَ وَ الْقُدْرَةُ ذَاتُهُ وَ لَا مَقْدُورَ فَلَمَّا أَحْدَثَ الْأَشْيَاءَ وَ كَانَ الْمَعْلُومُ وَقَعَ الْعِلْمُ مِنْهُ عَلَى الْمَعْلُومِ وَ السَّمْعُ عَلَى الْمَسْمُوعِ وَ الْبَصَرُ عَلَى الْمُبْصَرِ وَ الْقُدْرَةُ عَلَى الْمَقْدُورِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَلَمْ يَزَلِ اللَّهُ مُتَحَرِّكاً قَالَ فَقَالَ تَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الْحَرَكَةَ صِفَةٌ مُحْدَثَةٌ بِالْفِعْلِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَلَمْ يَزَلِ اللَّهُ مُتَكَلِّماً قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْكَلَامَ صِفَةٌ مُحْدَثَةٌ لَيْسَتْ بِأَزَلِيَّةٍ كَانَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَا مُتَكَلِّمَ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Tayalisi from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ibn Maskan from Abu Basir that he heard Aba 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) say: "Allah (azwj) has always been our Lord. Knowledge was His essence without anything known, hearing was His essence without anything heard, sight was His essence without anything seen, and power was His essence without anything within His power. Then, when He created things and there were things to be known, His knowledge applied to the known things, His hearing to the heard things, His sight to the seen things, and His power to the things within His power. I asked, "Has Allah always been in motion?" He replied, "Allah is exalted above that; indeed, motion is an attribute that is created through action." I asked, "Has Allah always been speaking?" He replied, "Speech is a created attribute, not eternal. Allah (azwj) existed without being a speaker."

[1]« و كان المعلوم» أي وجد، و قوله:« وقع العلم على المعلوم» أي وقع على ما كان معلوما في الازل و انطبق عليه و تحقّق مصداقه و ليس المقصود تعلقه به تعلقا لم يكن قبل الايجاد و المراد بوقوع العلم على المعلوم العلم به على أنّه حاضر موجود و كان قد تعلق العلم به قبل ذلك على وجه الغيبة و انه سيوجد و التغير يرجع الى المعلوم لا إلى العلم.( آت)ص 107
