2. `Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Wahhab said in Naysabur that Ahmad ibn al-Fadl ibn al-Mughayrah said: Abu Nasr Mansur ibn `Abd Allah ibn Ibrahim al-Isfahani said: `Ali ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abu al-Khattab, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abu al-Husayn al-Qurayzi, on the authority of Sahl ibn Abu Muhammad alMissisi that Abu `Abd Allah Ja`far ibn Muhammad (AS) said
A servant cannot act or move unless the ability to act is given to him by Allah, the Mighty and High. Verily, the legal capacity [taklif] from Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has occurred after the capability. Thus, no one has legal capacity except the capable.
2 - حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد بن عبد الوهاب بنيسابور، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن الفضل بن المغيرة، قال: حدثنا أبو نصر منصور بن عبد الله بن إبراهيم الإصفهاني، قال: حدثنا علي بن عبد الله، عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن محمد بن أبي الحسين القريظي عن سهل بن أبي محمد المصيصي عن أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام، قال
لا يكون العبد فاعلا ولا متحركا إلا والاستطاعة معه من الله عز وجل وإنما وقع التكليف من الله تبارك وتعالى بعد الاستطاعة، ولا يكون مكلفا للفعل إلا مستطيعا.
