11. My father (RA) said: Ahmad in Idris said, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad that Abu `Abd Allah al-Razi said, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn al-Lu’lu’I, on the authority of Ibn Sinan, on the authority of Mahzam that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) asked, “Tell me what our followers disagree upon with those you oppose?” I replied, “In determinism and relinquishment.” He (AS) said
“then ask me.” I enquired, “Has Allah compelled His Servants to sin?” He (AS) answered, “Allah is more Subduer than that for them” I asked, “Did He then give them complete free will?” He (AS) replied, “Allah is more Powerful over them than that.” I questioned, “May Allah be in peace with you! Where does the truth lie?” He (AS) turned his hand over twice or thrice then responded, “If I answered that question, you would surely disbelieve.”
11 - أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس، عن محمد بن أحمد، قال: حدثنا أبو عبد الله الرازي، عن الحسن بن الحسين اللؤلؤي، عن ابن سنان، عن مهزم، قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: أخبرني عما اختلف فيه من خلفت من موالينا، قال
قلت: في الجبر والتفويض، قال: فسلني، قلت: أجبر الله العباد على المعاصي؟ قال: الله أقهر لهم من ذلك قال: قلت: ففوض إليهم؟ قال: الله أقدر عليهم من ذلك، قال: قلت: فأي شئ هذا أصلحك الله؟ قال: فقلب يده مرتين أو ثلاثا، ثم قال: لو أجبتك فيه لكفرت.
