(5) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed narrated from Ali bin al-Hasan from Muhammad bin Khalid al-Assamm from Abdullah bin Bukayr from Tha’laba bin Maymoon from Zurara from Hamran bin A’yun that Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) had said when talking about this verse, “Then He decreed a term; and there is a term named with Him:” “They are two terms; one is inevitable and one is pending.” Hamran asked him: “What is the inevitable one?” He said
“It is a thing that has been determined by the will of Allah.” Hamran said: “I hope that the term of as-Sufyani is of the pending ones.” Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) said: “No, it is not. By Allah, it is of the inevitable ones.”
5 - حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسن، عن محمد بن خالد الأصم، عن عبد الله بن بكير، عن ثعلبة بن ميمون، عن زرارة، عن حمران بن أعين، عن أبي جعفر محمد بن علي في قوله تعالى هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضَىٰ أَجَلًا ۖ وَأَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى عِنْدَهُ ۖ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ {2} فقال
إنهما أجلان: أجل محتوم، وأجل موقوف. فقال له حمران: ما المحتوم؟ قال: الذي لله فيه المشيئة. قال حمران: إني لأرجو أن يكون أجل السفياني من الموقوف. فقال أبو جعفر: لا والله، إنه لمن المحتوم.
