7. My father (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Sulayman in Ja`far al-Ja`fari that Determinism and relinquishment were mentioned in the presence of Abu al-Hasan alRida (AS). Hence, he (AS) said
“Shall I not give you an argument that will enable you to destroy the arguments of anyone who debates with you?” We replied, “Only if you think it is proper.” He (AS) replied, Verily, Allah, the Mighty and High, does not compel anyone to obey or disobey. He does not neglect His Servants in His Sovereignty. He is the Master over Everything they Possess, and He is All-Powerful over their actins. If they decide to obey Allah, He will not prevent them or obstruct them. If they decide to disobey Allah, and He wishes to prevent them form doing so, He will do so. However, if He does not prevent them from disobeying, and they disobey, He has not compelled them to do so. He (AS) then added, “whosoever masters this argument will defeat his opponent.”
7 - أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا: سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، عن أبيه، عن سليمان بن جعفر الجعفري، عن أبي الحسن الرضا عليه السلام، قال
ذكر عنده الجبر والتفويض، فقال: ألا أعطيكم في هذا أصلا لا تختلفون فيه ولا تخاصمون عليه أحدا إلا كسرتموه، قلنا: إن رأيت ذلك، فقال: إن الله عز وجل لم يطع بإكراه، ولم يعص بغلبة ولم يهمل العباد في ملكه، هو المالك لما ملكهم، والقادر على ما أقدرهم عليه، فإن ائتمر العباد بطاعته لم يكن الله عنها صادا ولا منها مانعا وإن ائتمروا بمعصيته فشاء أن يحول بينهم وبين ذلك فعل وإن لم يحل وفعلوه فليس هو الذي أدخلهم فيه، ثم قال عليه السلام: من يضبط حدود هذا الكلام فقد خصم من خالفه .
