Allah -azwj Does not Compel anyone upon disobeying Him -azwj , nor does He -azwj Intend a Determined Intention of the disbelief from anyone, but when he does disbelieve, it would be in the Intention of Allah -azwj that he does disbelieve, and they are in the Intention of Allah -azwj and in His -azwj Knowledge that they would not be coming to anything from the good’.
قُلْتُ أَرَادَ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا قَالَ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا أَقُولُ وَ لَكِنِّي أَقُولُ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُمْ سَيَكْفُرُونَ فَأَرَادَ الْكُفْرَ لِعِلْمِهِ فِيهِمْ وَ لَيْسَتْ هِيَ إِرَادَةَ حَتْمٍ إِنَّمَا هِيَ إِرَادَةُ اخْتِيَارٍ I said, ‘He -azwj Intends from them that they disbelieve?’ He -asws said: ‘It isn’t like this that I -asws am saying.
But, I -asws am saying that He -azwj Knows that they would be disbelieving, so the Intention of the disbelief is due to His -azwj Knowledge regarding them, but it isn’t the Determined Intention. But rather, it is an Intention of choice’.
[19] مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حَمْزَةُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الِاسْتِطَاعَةِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ دَخْلَةً أُخْرَى فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ وَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ لَا يُخْرِجُهُ إِلَّا شَيْءٌ أَسْمَعُهُ مِنْكَ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّكَ مَا كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from some of our companions, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘Hamza Bin Humran narrated to me saying, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah -asws about the capability, but he -asws did not answer me.
So I went over to him -asws once again and I said, ‘May Allah -azwj Keep you -asws well! It has occurred in my heart; from it is something which will not be coming out except by something I hear from you -asws ’. He -asws said: ‘But it would not harm you, whatever was in your heart’.
