91ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في صِفَةِ اللّهِ سُبحانَهُ ـ: وإنَّهُ لَبِكُلِّ مَكانٍ ، وفي كُلِّ حِينٍ وأوانٍ ، ومَعَ كُلِّ إنسٍ وجانٍّ. |

92ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) لَمّا سُئلَ عَن قَولِ اللّهِ عَزَّ وجلَّ: «وهُوَ اللّهُ في السَّماواتِ وفي الأرضِ» ـ: كذلِكَ هُوَ في كُلِّ مَكانٍ . قُلتُ: بِذاتِه ؟ قالَ: وَيحَكَ ! إنَّ الأماكِنَ أقدارٌ ، فإذا قُلتَ: في مَكانٍ بِذاتِهِ لَزِمَكَ أن تَقولَ: في أقدارٍ وغَيرِ ذلكَ ، ولكِنْ هُوَ بائنٌ مِن خَلقِهِ ، مُحيطٌ بِما خَلَقَ عِلماً وقُدرَةً وإحاطَةً وسُلطاناً ومُلكاً. |
| 92– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) was asked by Abu Jau`afar regarding Allah’s verse in the Qur’an: “And He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth”, to which he replied, ‘Yes, similarly He is in every place.’ I [Abu Ja`afar] asked, ‘In His essence?’ Imam replied, ‘Woe betide you! Verily places are the objects of divine decree, so by your saying that He is in a place in essence, you are in fact compelled to say that He is both in the objects of His divine decree and separate thereof. He is, however, distinct from His creation, entirely encompassing what He creates in knowledge, power, control, authority and dominion.’[al-Tawhid, p. 133, no. 15] |
