Hadith 154
۞
11-46 Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Masroor - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Al-Hussein ibn Muhammad ibn A’mir quoted on the authority of al-Mo’alla ibn Muhammad al-Basri, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’, “
I asked Abil Hassan Al-Ridha (s), ‘Has God authorized the servants regarding the affairs?’ The Imam (s) replied, ‘He is Exalted High above that.’ Then I asked the Imam |(s), ‘Has God predestined them to do acts of disobedience?’ The Imam (s) replied, ‘God is Just and Wise High above that.’ Then the Imam (s) added, ‘The Honorable the Exalted God said, ‘O son of Adam! I deserve that your good deeds be ascribed to Me. You deserve that your wicked deeds be ascribed to you. You do acts of disobedience using the power which I have established in you.’”
46 - حَدَّثَنا جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْرُور رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عامِر، عَن معلى بْنِ مُحَمَّد البَصَرِيِّ، عَن الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِى الوَشَّاء، عَن أَبي الحَسَن الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ فَوَّضَ الأَمْرَ إِلَى الْعِبَادِ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعَزُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ فَأَجْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَعَاصِي قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْدَلُ وَأَحْكَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قالَ: قالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِحَسَنَاتِكَ مِنْكَ وَأَنْتَ أَوْلَى بِسَيِّئَاتِكَ مِنِّي عَمِلْتَ الْمَعَاصِيَ بِقُوَّتِيَ الَّتِي جَعَلْتُهَا فِيكَ.
