Chapter 59 | The Negation of Determinism and Relinquishment

2 - أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن حفص بن قرط، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: من زعم أن الله تبارك وتعالى يأمر بالسوء والفحشاء فقد كذب على الله، و من زعم أن الخير والشر بغير مشية الله فقد أخرج الله من سلطانه، ومن زعم أن المعاصي بغير قوة الله فقد كذب على الله، ومن كذب على الله أدخله الله النار. يعني بالخير والشر: الصحة والمرض، وذلك قوله عز وجل: ﴿ونبلوكم بالشر والخير فتنة﴾ .

2. My father said: `Ali ibn Ibrahim said, on the authority of Yunus ibn `Abd al-Rahman, on the authority of Hafs ibn Qurt that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq said: The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever claims that Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, commands immorality and indecency has attributed a lie to Allah. And whoever claims that good and evil take place without the will of Allah, has removed Allah from His Rule. Whoever claims that sins can take place without the power of Allah, has attributed a lie to Allah. And whoever attributes lie to Allah, Allah will cast him into Hell. The meaning of good and evil is health and illness, referring to his saying, the Majestic and Glorious: "And We try you by evil and good by way of probation." (Quran 21:35)
