Chapter On The Meanings of the Names of Allah and their Derivatives

11ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله الْحَسَنِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ مَوْلَى طِرْبَالٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ الْجَوَالِيقِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سُبْحانَ الله مَا يُعْنَى بِهِ قَالَ تَنْزِيهُهُ.
11. Ahmad ibn Mihran has narrated from ‘Abd al-‘Azim ibn ‘Abdallah al-Hassani from Ali ibn Asbat, from Sulayman Mawla Tirbal from Hisham al-Jawaliqi who has said the following: “I asked abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام about the meaning of the words of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'Glory be to Allah', what is the meaning of it?’ He said: ‘His Transcendence’.”
