Hadith 669
۞
Muhammad b. Ahmad al-Sinani al-Mukattib (ra) narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Abi `Abdillah al-Kufi narrated to us. He said: Sahl b. Ziyad al-Adami narrated to us from `Abd al-`Athim b. `Abdullah al-Hasani from Imam `Ali b. Muhammad from his father Muhammad b. `Ali from his father Al-Rida `Ali b. Musa (as). He said
Abu Hanifa departed from al-Sadiq (as) one day and encountered Musa b. Ja`far (as) along the way. So, he said to him: O young man! Who is responsible for the committing of sin? So, he said: There are only three possibilities: (1) It is committed by Allah, which is impossible, because it is not proper for the Merciful to punish His servants for things they have not done. (2) The sin is committed by both Allah and the servant, but it is not proper for a Powerful partner to oppress a weak partner. (3) It is the servant that commits the sin. This is the case. If Allah punishes him, it is due to the sins that he has committed, and if Allah forgives him, it is due to His generosity.
4 - حدثنا محمد بن أحمد السناني المكتب (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، قال: حدثنا سهل بن زياد الآدمي، عن عبد العظيم بن عبد الله الحسني، عن الامام علي بن محمد، عن أبي محمد بن علي، عن أبيه الرضا علي بن موسى (عليهم السلام)، قال
خرج أبو حنيفة ذات يوم من عند الصادق (عليه السلام)، فاستقبله موسى بن جعفر (عليه السلام)، فقال له: يا غلام، ممن المعصية؟ فقال: لا تخلو من ثلاثة: إما أن تكون من الله عز وجل وليست منه، فلا ينبغي للكريم أن يعذب عبده بما لم يكتسبه، وإما أن تكون من الله عز وجل ومن العبد، فلا ينبغي للشريك القوي أن يظلم الشريك الضعيف، وإما أن تكون من العبد وهي منه، فإن عاقبه الله فبذنبه، وإن عفا عنه فيكرمه وجوده (4).
