[9] مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا جَبْرَ وَ لَا تَفْوِيضَ وَ لَكِنْ أَمْرٌ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا أَمْرٌ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ قَالَ مَثَلُ ذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ رَأَيْتَهُ عَلَى مَعْصِيَةٍ فَنَهَيْتَهُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ فَتَرَكْتَهُ فَفَعَلَ تِلْكَ الْمَعْصِيَةَ فَلَيْسَ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ مِنْكَ فَتَرَكْتَهُ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي أَمَرْتَهُ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ .
Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from the one who narrated it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘There is neither Compulsion nor Delegation, but there is a matter between the two matters’. I said, ‘And what is the matter between the two matters?’ He -asws said: ‘An example of that is a man you see upon disobedience. So, you forbid him, so he does not finish it. So, you neglect him (for a while).
Then he commits that very disobedience. Therefore, it isn’t so when he did not accept from you, so you neglected him, you came to be the one who instructed him with the disobedience’. [10] What is the Compulsion?
عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام الْفَامِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ بِالتَّشْبِيهِ وَ الْجَبْرِ فَهُوَ كَافِرٌ مُشْرِكٌ وَ نَحْنُ مِنْهُ بُرَآءُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ (The book) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al Reza -asws – Al Famy, from Muhammad Al himeyri, from his father, from Ibn Hashim, from Ali Bin Ma’bad, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid, ‘From Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza -asws having said: ‘The one who speak with the resemblance (of Allah -azwj ) and the Compulsion (by Allah -azwj ), so he is a Kafir, a Polytheist, and we -asws are disavowed from him in the world and the Hereafter.
يَا ابْنَ خَالِدٍ إِنَّمَا وَضَعَ الْأَخْبَارَ عَنَّا فِي التَّشْبِيهِ وَ الْجَبْرِ الْغُلَاةُ الَّذِينَ صَغَّرُوا عَظَمَةَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَمَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنَا وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنَا وَ مَنْ وَالاهُمْ فَقَدْ عَادَانَا وَ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ فَقَدْ وَالانَا O Ibn Khalid! But rather the Ahadeeth regarding the resemblance and the Compulsion have been placed from us -asws by the exaggerators, those who are belittling the Magnificence of Allah -azwj the Exalted.
