17. Ja`far ibn Muhammad ibn Masrur (RA) said: al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn `Amir said, on the authority of his paternal uncle `Abd Allah ibn `Amir, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, on the authority of Maqatil ibn Sulayman that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said
When Musa (AS) went to Mount Sinai. He called unto his Lord, the Mighty and High, “O Lord, show me your treasures!” Thus, Allah replied, “O Musa! Verily, My Treasure is that when I intend something, I say to it: `Be and it is.’” The Compiler of this book (RA) says: Among the proofs upon the Omnipotence of Allah, the Mighty and High, is: the world is a creation of the Creator, since things can only be created by One who is Omnipotent. The disabled cannot walk, and the incapable cannot carry out actins. Hence, it is correct to say that one who created the world is Omnipotent. If something other than this is possible then it would be possible for us to fly without wings, and to perceive without the senses. And therefore, if the possibility of the latter is against logic, then so is the first.
17 - حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسرور رحمه الله قال: حدثنا الحسين بن محمد بن عامر، عن عمه عبد الله بن عامر، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن مقاتل بن سليمان، قال
قال أبو عبد الله الصادق عليه السلام: لما صعد موسى عليه السلام إلى الطور فنادى ربه عز وجل قال: يا رب أرني خزائنك، فقال: يا موسى إنما خزائني إذا أردت شيئا أن أقول له: كن فيكون. قال مصنف هذا الكتاب: من الدليل على أن الله عز وجل قادر: أن العالم لما ثبت أنه صنع الصانع ولم نجد أن يصنع الشئ من ليس بقادر عليه بدلالة أن المقعد لا يقع منه المشي والعاجز لا يتأتى له الفعل صح أن الذي صنعه قادر، ولو جاز غير ذلك لجاز منا الطيران مع فقد ما يكون به من الآلة، ولصح لنا الادراك وإن عدمنا الحاسة. فلما كان إجازة هذا خروجا عن المعقول كان الأول مثله. باب العلم
