Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Al Kafi (part 3) Chapter 14 : Chapter On Will Power (iradah) It Is of the Attributes of Action (sifat Al-fi'l) and the Rest of the Attributes of Action H 292, Ch. 14, H 1 Muhammad ibn Yahya al-'Attar has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Isa al-Ash'ari from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id al-Ahwazi from an-Nadr ibn Suwayd from 'Asim ibn Hamiyd who has said the following.

"I asked abu 'Abdallah (a.s.), 'Is Allah's will eternal?'" He replied, Will is always with what is willed. Allah is eternally All-knowing and Allpowerful and then He wills." H 293, Ch. 14, h 2 Muhammad ibn abu 'Abdallah has narrated from Muhammad ibn Isma'il from al-Husayn ibn al-Hassan from Bakr ibn Salih from Ali ibn Asbat from al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm from Bukayr ibn A'yan who has said the following.

"I asked abu 'Abdallah (a.s.), 'Are the knowledge and the will of Allah different or the same?'" He replied, "His knowledge is not the same as His will. Consider when you say, 'If Allah wills, I will do this,' and you do not say, "If Allah knows I will do this." Your own words, if Allah wills are proof that Allah has not yet willed it. If He would will what He would do, it happens exactly as He wills. His knowledge is before His will." H 300, Ch.

14, h 3 Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya who has said the following. "I asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), 'Enlighten me about the will of Allah and the will of His creatures.'" He said, "The will of His creatures comes from what goes in their minds and leads to action. Will of Allah, the Most High, is His inventing and nothing else because Allah does not need to reflect, deliberate or think. Such qualities do not exist with Him.

They are the attributes of His creation. Allah's will is His acts and nothing else. He says to it: Be, and it comes into existence, without any words or utterance of the tongue, any inclination and reflection. His will has no conditions just as His self has no conditions." H 301, Ch. 14, h 4 Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu 'Umayr from 'Umar ibn 'Udhaynah from abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. "Allah created His Will by Will itself.

Then, He created all things by His Will." H 302, Ch. 14, h 5 A group of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Barqi from Muhammad ibn 'Isa from al-Mashriqi Hamzah ibn al-Murtafi' from some of our people who has said the following.
