Despite the philosophers' definition of "motion" (the gradual departure of an object from potentiality to actuality and mobility or gradation in existence) and "incorporeal being" (an entity that is not an elemental or natural body, it can still remain there without an elemental body and material belongings), one can find some traditions suggesting the possibility of motion in incorporeal beings. There, prima facia, however, seems a contradiction in those traditions. A small number of traditions indicate the absence of motion in incorporeal beings. But those traditions are weak, ambiguous, conflicting with definite narrations that do not signify the absolute stability of incorporeal beings. In contrast, there are a lot of traditions indicating the possibility of motion in incorporeal beings; traditions that suggest motion in all contingent beings, that all creatures have time or appointed term or death, or the increase in the knowledge of the angels, or their getting closer to God, etc. From the overall implication of these narrations, the possibility of motion in incorporeal beings can be inferred.
