20. Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil (may Allah have mercy on him) said: `Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of al-Saqr ibn [Abu] Dulaf that
I asked Abu al-Hasan `Ali ibn Muhammad ibn `Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (AS) about Divine Unity: “Verily, I say what Hisham ibn al-Hasam said.” So he (AS) became angry and said: What is the matter with you and Hisham? Indeed, he is not from us who thinks that Allah, the Mighty and High, has a body. We are free from such a person in this world, and in the Hereafter. O son of [Abu] Dulaf! Verily, the body is created and Allah is its Creator. The Compiler of this book says: Allah willing, I will mention the proof that bodies are created in the chapter of this book titled “The Proof of the Creation of the World.”
