10. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn `Abd Allah ibn Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Barqi (RA) said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah, on the authority of `Ali ibn al-Hakam, on the authority of Aban al-Ahmar, on the authority of Hamzah ibn al-Tayyar that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) told me: “Write down the following.” Then he (AS) dictate to me: Verily, among our belief is that Allah, the Mighty and High, will judge His Servants on the basis of the means He grants them, and what He introduced to them. He then sent the Messenger (SA) to them, and revealed to him the Book (the Qur’an) in which He commanded and He forbade. In it, He commanded the ritual prayer and ritual fasting. Thus, the Messenger of Allah (SA) was made to sleep in and miss the prayer. Hence, Allah said
I made you sleep, and I wake you up. Now go and pray. They way, they will learn what they should do when this happens to them. It is not as they say: `When one sleeps in and misses a prayer, he is lost.’ The same applies to fasting. Allah says: `I make you ill and I cure you. Once I cure you, make up for the fasting you have missed.’ Abu `Abd Allah (AS) then added, I view all matters, this way. You will not find any of my followers oppressed by religion. Nor will you find anyone over whom Allah has not provided evidence through His Divine Will. I do not say: `They can do whatever they wish.’ Then he (AS) continued, Verily, it is Allah who guides and misleads. He only commands people to do what they are capable of doing. Whatever the people are commanded to do, they have the ability to do it. Whatever the people are unable to do, they have not been commanded to do it. Still, most people are devoid of good. Then he (AS) read this verse: It shall be no crime in the weak, nor in the sick, not in those who do not find what they should spend (to stay being), so long as they are sincere to Allah and His Messenger; there is no way (to blame) against the doers of good; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful; nor in those who when they came to you that you might carry them. [And said:] Thus, they are unburdened from these, because they cannot find them. The Compiler of this book says: His (AS) word: “Verily, it is Allah that guides and misleads.” The meaning of this is that He, the Mighty and High, guides the believers to Paradise on the Day of Judgment, and misleads the unjust away from Paradise. Verily, the Mighty and High, has said: Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, their Lord will guide them by their faith; there shall flow from beneath them rivers in gardens of bliss. The Mighty and High has also said: And Allah causes the unjust to go astray.
10 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن عبد الله بن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي (ره) عن أبيه عن جده أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن علي بن الحكم، عن أبان الأحمر، عن حمزة بن الطيار عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
قال لي: أكتب فأملى علي: أن من قولنا إن الله عز وجل يحتج على العباد بما آتاهم وما عرفهم، ثم أرسل إليهم رسولا، وأنزل عليه الكتاب، فأمر فيه ونهى، أمر فيه الصلاة والصوم، فأنام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم عن الصلاة (١) فقال: أنا أنيمك وأنا أوقظك، فاذهب فصل ليعلموا إذا أصابهم ذلك كيف يصنعون، ليس كما يقولون: إذا نام عنها هلك، وكذلك الصيام، أنا أمرضك وأنا أصححك فإذا شفيتك فاقضه، ثم قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: وكذلك إذا نظرت إلى جميع الأشياء لم تجد أحدا في ضيق، ولم تجد أحدا إلا ولله عليه الحجة وله فيه المشية ولا أقول: إنهم ما شاؤوا صنعوا، ثم قال: إن الله يهدي ويضل، وقال: وما أمروا إلا بدون سعتهم، وكل شئ أمر الناس به فهم يسعون له، وكل شئ لا يسعون له فهو موضوع عنهم، ولكن أكثر الناس لا خير فيهم، ثم قال: (ليس على الضعفاء ولا على المرضى ولا على الذين لا يجدون ما ينفقون حرج إذا نصحوا لله ورسوله ﴿فوضع عنهم) ما على المحسنين من سبيل والله غفور رحيم * ولا على الذين إذا ما أتوك لتحملهم - الآية﴾ فوضع عنهم لأنهم لا يجدون. قال مصنف هذا الكتاب رضي الله عنه: قوله عليه السلام: إن الله يهدي ويضل معناه أنه عز وجل يهدي المؤمنين في القيامة إلى الجنة ويضل الظالمين في القيامة عن الجنة إنما قال عز وجل: (١) ﴿إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات يهديهم ربهم بإيمانهم تجري من تحتهم الأنهار في جنات النعيم﴾ (٢) وقال عز وجل: (ويضل الله الظالمين) (٣).
