3ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ مَا بَعَثَ الله نَبِيّاً حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلاثَ خِصَالٍ الاقْرَارَ لَهُ بِالْعُبُودِيَّةِ وَخَلْعَ الانْدَادِ وَأَنَّ الله يُقَدِّمُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُؤَخِّرُ مَا يَشَاءُ.

3. It is narrated from Ali from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim from Muhammad ibn Muslim from abu ‘Abdallah who has said the following. “Allah did not send any messenger without three conditions. Acknowledgement of being His servant and worshipper (b) To acknowledge that there is nothing like Him and (c) that Allah may bring forwards whatever He would so will and takes backwards whatever He would so will.”
