Al-Kāfi - The Book on Oneness of Allah (God) ِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْ٠َّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠ِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِي بَعْضِ ٠َا أَنْزَلَ الله ٠ِنْ كُتُبِهِ أَنِّي أَنَا الله لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنَا خَلَقْتُ الْخَيْرَ وَخَلَقْتُ الشَّرَّ فَطُوبَى لِ٠َنْ أَجْرَيْتُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ الْخَيْرَ وَوَيْلٌ لِ٠َنْ أَجْرَيْتُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ الشَّرَّ وَوَيْلٌ لِ٠َنْ يَقُولُ كَيْفَ ذَا وَكَيْفَ ذَا.

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Hakim from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said that he heard (Imam) abu Ja’far (a.s.), say the following: “In certain matters that Allah has revealed through His books is, ‘I am Allah. No one deserves to be obeyed and worshipped besides Me. I created the Good and Evil.

Fortunate are those through whose hands I have made good to run and unfortunate are those through whose hands I have made evil to run and unfortunate are those who say, “How is this and how is that.’” حسن على الظاهر - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/172)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
