My father (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Isa, on the authority of Abu `Abd Allah al-Barqi that Abu Shu`ayb Salih ibn Khalid al-Mahamili, on the authority of Abu Sulayman al-Jammal, on the authority of Abu Basir that I asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) about the issue of capability. Hence, He (AS) replied: âThe issue of capability is not from my statement or the statement of my forefathers.
The Compiler of this book says: He means by this is that it is neither from my statement or the statement of my forefathers that we say of Allah, the Mighty and High: Verily, He is capable. Like the people in the time of `Isa (AS) said: Is your Lord capable of sending down to us food from Heaven?
