9. Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil, may Allah have mercy on him, said: `Abd Allah ibn Ja`far al-Himyari on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Isa on the authority of alHasan ibn Mahbub on the authority of `Abd al-`Aziz on the authority of Ibn Abu Ya`fur that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said: Verily, Allah is One [Wahid], Alone [Ahad], Sole in His Unity [Mutawahhid], Unique in His Affair. He made a creatin, and authorized it in the mattes of His Religion, and we are that creation. O son of Abu Ya`fur! We are the Proof [hujjah] of Allah among His servants, and we are His Witnesses to His Creation, the Trustees of His Revelation, the Treasurers of His Knowledge, the Face with which He bestows His Bounties, the Eye with which He sees His Creatures, the Tongue with which He talks, the Heart which embraces (in love), the Door that guides to Him, the Vicegerents with His Command, and the Callers to His Path. It is due to us that Allah was recognized and due to us that Allah was worshipped. We are the Guides unto Allah. Were it not for us, Allah would not have been worshipped.
IsnādNous a informé Muhammad ibn Musa ibn Al-Mutawakkil, que Dieu lui fasse miséricorde, qui a dit: Nous a informé Abdullah ibn Ja'far Al-Humayri, de la part d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, de la part d'Al-Hasan ibn Mahboub, de la part d'Abdul Aziz, de la part d'Ibn Abi Ya'fur, qui a dit: Abu Abdullah, que la paix soit sur lui, a dit:
Certes, Dieu est Un, Unique, Seul dans Son Unicité, distinct par Son commandement. Il a créé la création et leur a confié la charge de Sa religion. Nous sommes, ô fils d'Abi Ya'fur, les preuves de Dieu parmi Ses serviteurs, les témoins de Sa création, les gardiens de Sa révélation, les dépositaires de Son savoir, Son visage dont émane la lumière, Son œil dans Sa création, Sa langue qui parle, Son cœur conscient, Sa porte qui guide. Nous exécutons Son commandement, appelons à Son chemin. Par nous, Dieu est connu, et par nous, Dieu est adoré. Nous sommes les intermédiaires de Dieu, sans nous, Dieu ne serait pas adoré.
