"asked abu 'Abdallah (a.

"asked abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) about, "(Allah) Wished, Willed, Measured and Decreed." The Imam said, "Yes." I asked, "Did He love?" The Imam said, "No." I asked, "How is it that He wished, willed measured and decreed but did not love?" The Imam said, "This is how it has come to us." H 384, Ch. 26, h 3 It is narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Aloi ibn Ma'bad from Wasil ibn Sulayman from 'Abdallah ibn Sinan who has said the following.

"I hear Imam abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) saying, "Allah commanded but did not want. He wanted but did not command. He commanded Satan to prostrate but He did not want it. If He wanted Satan would have prostrated. He prohibited Adam from eating of the tree and wanted him to eat. Had He not wanted he would not have ate." H 385, Ch.

26, h 4 It is narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim from al-Mukhtar ibn Muhammad al-Hamadani and Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from 'Abdallah ibn al-Hassan al-'Alawi altogether from al-Fath ibn Yazid al-Jurjani from abu al-Hassan (a.s.) who has said the following. "Allah has two wills and two wishes. He has a definite will and an intended will. He prohibits but He wants it. He commands but He does not want it. Consider that He prohibited Adam and his spouse from eating of the tree but He wanted them to eat.

Had He not wanted their wish would not have surpassed Allah's wish. He commanded Ibrahim to slaughter Ishaq but He did not want it to happen. Had He wanted it the wish of Ibrahim would not have surpassed the wish of Allah, the Most High." H 386, Ch. 26, h 5 It is narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ali ibn Ma'bad from Durost ibn abu Mansur from Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following.

"I heard Imam abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) saying, 'He wanted and willed and did not love and did not agree. He wanted something nor to happen except in His knowledge and He willed in the same way but He did not love it to be said, "The third of the three and He did not agree that His servants become unbelievers." H 387, Ch. 26, h 6 It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr who has that Imam abul Hassan al-Rida has said the following.

"Allah said, 'O son of Adam through My wish you came into existence and it is you who wish for yourself whatever you wish. Through My power you fulfill your obligations and through My bounties you receive strength to disobey Me. I made you made you to hear and see and be strong.
