Chapter 11 | On Traditions From al-Ridha About Unity

47 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ إِسْحاق المُؤَدِّبُ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ عَلِى الأَنْصارِي، عَن عَبْد السَّلامُ بْنِ صالِح الهَرَوِيِّ قالَ: سَمِعتُ أَبَا الحَسَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَر a.sُ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ بِالْجَبْرِ فَلا تُعْطُوهُ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ وَلا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لا يُكَلِّفُ نَفْساً إِلا وُسْعَهَا وَلا يُحَمِّلُهَا فَوْقَ طَاقَتِهَا وَلا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ إِلا عَلَيْها وَلا تَزِرُ وازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرى.

11-47 Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Mu’addib - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ahmad ibn Ali Al-Ansari quoted on the authority of Abdul Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi, “Do not give any alms-tax and do not accept the testimony of whoever believes in predestination. In fact, the Sublime God never burdens anyone with more than he can bear, and never forces anyone to do what is beyond his power. ‘…Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another…’”
