Hadith 440
۞
3.Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil (RA) said: `Ali ibn al-Husayn al-Sa`dabadi said, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al—Barqi, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Yunus ibn `Abd al-Rahman, on the authority of more than one that Abu Ja`far al-Baqir and Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) both said
“Verily, Allah, the Mighty and High, is too Merciful towards His Creation then to compel them to sin and then punish them for it. Allah is Mightier than intending a matter and not being able to it.” The reporter says: “They were both asked: “Is there another position besides that of compulsion and free will?” They replied, “Yes, verily, and it is broader than the space between heaven and earth.”
3 - حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسين السعدآبادي، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن عن غير واحد، عن أبي جعفر، وأبي عبد الله عليهما السلام، قالا: إن الله عز وجل أرحم بخلقه من أن يجبر خلقه على الذنوب ثم يعذبهم عليها، والله أعز من أن يريد أمرا فلا يكون، قال
فسئلا عليهما السلام، هل بين الجبر والقدر منزلة ثالثة؟ قالا: نعم، أوسع مما بين السماء والأرض .
