hadith 1916
Imam Ali (AS), in his explanation of the phrase ‘There is no power or strength save in Allah, said, ‘Verily we are not masters over anything with Allah, nor are we masters over anything except what He has given us mastery over. So by making us masters over that which He is a superior Master, He has given us responsibility, and by taking away mastership from us He absolves us of our responsibilities.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في تَفسيرِ لا حَولَ ولا قُوَّةَ إلّا بِاللّهِ ـ: إنّا لا نَملِكُ مَعَ اللّهِ شَيئاً ، ولا نَملِكُ إلّا ما مَلَّكَنا ، فمَتى مَلَّكَنا ما هُوَ أملَكُ بِهِ مِنّا كَلَّفَنا ، ومَتى أخَذَهُ مِنّا وَضَعَ تَكليفَهُ عَنّا.
