وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا عُظِّمَ اللَّهُ بِمِثْلِ الْبَدَاءِ . And in another report of Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws (having said): ‘Allah -azwj has not been revered with the likes of The Changing of Allah -azwj ’s Decision (الْبَدَاءِ)’.

[14] وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مِنَ الْأُمُورِ أُمُورٌ مَوْقُوفَةٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يُقَدِّمُ مِنْهَا مَا يَشَاءُ وَ يُؤَخِّرُ مِنْهَا مَا يَشَاءُ . And, by this chain, from Hammad, from Rabie, from Al Fuzayl who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far -asws saying: ‘From the matters is a matter suspended in the Presence of Allah -azwj .
He -azwj Brings forward from these whatever He -azwj so Desires to, and Delays from these whatever He -azwj so Desires to’.
