Question

What is the authenticity of this narration?

Ja’far as-Sadiq (rahimahullah) said: “Whoever claims that Allah is contained in anything or originated from anything or is borne by anything has associated partners with Him. If He was in something, then He would be contained; and if He was on something, then He would be borne; and if He was from something, then He would have a beginning.”

 

Answer

This narration has been cited in non-primary sources like Ar Risalatul Qushayriyyah and Tabaqatush Shafi’iyyah. I have not come across a grading from a Muhaddith of the past nor have I come across the chain of narrators.

(Ar Risalatul Qushayriyyah, pg. 94 and Tabaqatush Shafi’iyyah, vol. 9, pg. 42)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

الرسالة القشيرية:
(٩٤) – 
وقال جعفر الصادق: من زعم أن الله في شيء أو من شيء أو على شيء فقد أشرك إذ لو كان على شيء لكان محمولا ولو كان في شيء لكان محصورا ولو كان من شيء لكان محدثا.

طبقات الشافعية الكبرى للسبكي: (٩/ ٤٢)
وقال جعفر الصادق رضي الله عنه: من زعم أن الله في شيء أو من شيء أو على شيء فقد أشرك، إذ لو كان في شيء لكان محصورا ولو كان على شيء لكان محمولا ولو كان من شيء لكان محدثا.
