 we said it is like the one who says how did the existence of the first come about? it is said this is a question about an accident. as for what has always existed it is not said how it came about. likewise the body and its soul if each one has always existed is it not farfetched that it is a creator?
قلنا هو كقول القائل كيف اتفق وجود الأول؟ فيقال هذا سؤال عن حادث فأما ما لم يزل موجودا فلا يقال كيف اتفق. فكذلك الجسم ونفسه إذا لم يزل كل واحد موجودا لم يبعد أن يكون صانعا؟
