18. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of all three Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Isa; Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Hamid and Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abu al-Khattab, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Nasr, on the authority of some of our scholars that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said
“A servant cannot accomplish an action unless Allah, the Mighty and High, has granted him the ability of doing so. Verily, the legal capacity [taklif] from Allah has occurred after the ability. Thus, no one has legal capacity except for the capable.”
18 - حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا سعد ابن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، ومحمد بن عبد الحميد، ومحمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبي نصر، عن بعض أصحابنا، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
لا يكون العبد فاعلا ولا متحركا إلا والاستطاعة معه من الله عز وجل وإنما وقع التكليف من الله بعد الاستطاعة، فلا يكون مكلفا للفعل إلا مستطيعا.
