13. My father (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of Ya`qub ibn Yazid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of some of our scholars who he transmitted from, that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said
“A servant (of Allah) is not able to accomplish an action unless he has the ability to do so. Sometimes he has the ability to accomplish an action, but he does not do it. However, he can never accomplish an action unless he has the ability to do so.”
13 - حدثنا أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عمن رواه من أصحابنا، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
سمعته يقول: لا يكون العبد فاعلا إلا وهو مستطيع وقد يكون مستطيعا غير فاعل ولا يكون فاعلا أبدا حتى يكون معه الاستطاعة.
