Hadith 406
۞
3. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (RA) said: al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan ibn Aban said, on the authority of al-Husayn ibn Sa`id, on the authority of `Ubayd ibn Zurarah that Hamzah ibn Humran related to me that
I asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) about the issue of ability, but he did not answer me. So I entered his presence at another time and said: “May Allah be in peace with you! A doubt has entered my heart which nobo0dy can remove but you.” He (AS) said: Verily, what is in your hear will not harm you?” I said: May Allah be in peace with you! AI believe: Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, does not burden His Servants with more than they can bear. They do not do anything except by the Intent, Will, Predestination and Decree of Allah. He (AS) responded, “This is the religion of Allah in which I believe, and in which my forefathers believed.” Or he (AS) said something along those lines. The Compiler of this book says: Allah’s Will and His Intent refer to His Command, and the pleasure found in His Obedience. And in the disobedience is commandment to refrain and forbiddance from them through restraint and warning.
3 - حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا الحسين ابن الحسن بن أبان، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن عبيد بن زرارة، قال: حدثني حمزة ابن حمران، قال
سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن الاستطاعة فلم يجبني، فدخلت عليه دخلة أخرى فقلت: أصلحك الله أنه قد وقع في قلبي منها شئ لا يخرجه إلا شئ أسمعه منك، قال: فإنه لا يضرك ما كان في قلبك: قلت: أصلحك الله فإني أقول: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لم يكلف العباد إلا ما يستطيعون وإلا ما يطيقون، فإنهم لا يصنعون شيئا من ذلك إلا بإرادة الله ومشيته وقضائه وقدرة، قال: هذا دين الله الذي أنا عليه وآبائي أو كما قال. قال مصنف هذا الكتاب: مشية الله وإرادته في الطاعات الأمر بها والرضا، وفي المعاصي النهي عنها والمنع منها بالزجر والتحذير.
