Belief in Allah(swt) having a body or form

Muhammad ibn al-Hassan has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Hamzah ibn Muhammad who has said the following. “I wrote to Imam abu al-Hassan (the third) (as) asking about the body and form (of Allah). He(as) wrote in reply, ‘Glorious is He similar to Who there is nothing. He is not a body nor has He any form.’” 

πŸ“šKitab Al Kafi V1,P61



Hisham reported that Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (as) said: “The Prophet Muhammad (s.) never saw his Lord with the eyes. If by seeing he means seeing with the heart, he is right, and if by seeing he means seeing with the eye, he is disbelieving (kafir) in God and His signs , because the Messenger (s.) said: “He who compares God with His creation is disbelieving. He who compares Him to His creation has made for Him a partner.” 

πŸ“šWasailush Shia V28 P348




Sheikh As-Saduq writes: 

Those who describe God with a face like the faces are disbelievers and associate other partners with Him. His faces are His prophets and His proofs (a.), for they are those through whom the servants turn to God, His knowledge and the knowledge of His religion, and looking at them is a tremendous reward on the Day of Resurrection that surpasses any reward. The Exalted One says: “Everyone who is on it is perishable, but the face of your Lord remains.” (55:26-27) And the Exalted One says: “Wherever you turn, there is the face of God.” (2:115) By which he means: “Over there you have to turn to God.” So there is no necessity, to reject anything from the reports that agrees with the wording of the Qur’an.”
