قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَاحِدٌ- مُتَوَحِّدٌ بِالْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ مُتَفَرِّدٌ بِأَمْرِهِ فَخَلَقَ خَلْقاً فَقَدَّرَهُمْ لِذَلِكَ الْأَمْرِ فَنَحْنُ هُمْ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ فَنَحْنُ حُجَجُ اللَّهِ فِي عِبَادِهِ وَ خُزَّانُهُ عَلَى عِلْمِهِ وَ الْقَائِمُونَ بِذَلِكَ.

5. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Fudaala ibn Ayyub from ‘Abdullah ibn Abu Ya‘fur who has said that Imam Abu ‘Abdullah (a.s.) said the following. “O son of Abi Ya'fur, indeed Allah is One, unique in His Oneness. He alone issues His command. He created a creation and appointed and measured them for that command (Amr, task). So, we, O son of Abu Ya‘fur, are that creation. We are the authority of Allah among His servants, the treasurers of His knowledge, and the guardians of it.”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
