The Proofs of Unity of the Divine Essence Cited in Traditions

Intellect and intellectuality are considered among man's important characteristics and merits which always take man towards happiness and can be considered as a language shared by all people. Therefore, the leading figures of a religion have frequently used this divine blessing in conveying the divine message. The present paper studies the proofs of unity of the divine essence presented by traditions (riwayat). Using a library and descriptive analysis, the author tries to extract proofs derived from the traditions. There are a lot of evidence in the Fourteen Infallible's works which can be cited in this regard including the argument from negating composition, the argument from negation of limitation, the proof from interval between two or more gods, the proof from exclusiveness of effects to one God, and the proof from no lack of evidence for two or more gods.
