Arabic text

13 - حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا سعد ابن عبد الله، عن أيوب بن نوح أنه كتب إلى أبي الحسن عليه السلام يسأله عن الله عز وجل أكان يعلم الأشياء قبل أن خلق الأشياء وكونها، أو لم يعلم ذلك حتى خلقها وأراد خلقها وتكوينها، فعلم ما خلق عندما خلق وما كون عندما كون؟ فوقع عليه السلام بخطه: لم يزل الله عالما بالأشياء قبل أن يخلق الأشياء كعلمه بالأشياء بعد ما خلق الأشياء.

Translation

13. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of Ayyub ibn Nuh that I wrote to Abu al-Hasan al-Naqi (AS) asking him about Allah, the Mighty and High: “Did He have knowledge of things before He created them or did He know them only after He created them?” He (AS) wrote in his own handwriting: “Allah’s knowledge of things was the same before He created them and after He created them.”
