1273. HE IS EVERYWHERE

(وَ هُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ وَ اللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ) .1

“And He is with you wherever you may be, and Allah sees best what you do.”2

4161.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - في صِفَةِ اللَّهِ سُبحانَهُ - : وإنَّهُ لَبِكُلِّ مَكانٍ ، وفي كُلِّ حِينٍ وأوانٍ ، ومَعَ كُلِّ إنسٍ وجانٍّ.3

4161.Imam Ali (AS) said, describing Allah, Glory be to Him, ‘And verily He is everywhere, each and every moment and time, and with every human and Jinn.’4

4162.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - لمّا سألَهُ أبو جَعفَرٍ عَن قَولِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وجلَّ : (وهُوَ اللَّهُ في السَّماواتِ وفي الأرضِ)5 - : 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 .6

4162. Imam al-Sadiq (AS) was asked by Abu Jafar 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 Jafar] asked, ‘In His essence?’ Imam replied, ‘Woe betide you! Verily places are subject to limits and boundaries, so by your saying that He is in a place in His essence, you are in fact compelled to say that He is contained in objects which are subject to measurement and size. He is, however, distinct from His creation, entirely encompassing what He creates in knowledge, power, control, authority and dominion.’7

1272. THE ALL-EMBRACING, ALL NEEDLESS

(اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ) .1

“Allah is the All-embracing.”2

4160.الإمامُ الحسينُ عليه السلام: الصَّمَدُ: الّذي لا جَوفَ لَهُ ، والصَّمَدُ : الّذي قَدِ انتَهى‏ سُؤدَدُهُ ، والصَّمَدُ الّذي لا يَأكُلُ ولا يَشرَبُ ، والصَّمَدُ : الّذي لا يَنامُ ، والصَّمَدُ : الدّائمُ الّذي لَم يَزَلْ ولا يَزالُ .3

4160.Imam al-Husayn (AS) said, ‘The All-embracing is the One Who has no lack within Him; the All-embracing is the One Whose mastership is complete; the All-embracing is the One Who neither eats nor drinks; the All-embracing is the One Who does not sleep; the All-embracing is the Eternal One who is and will always be.’4
