15 - حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا الحسين بن أبان، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن النضر بن سويد، عن عاصم بن حميد عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قلت له: لم يزل الله مريدا؟ فقال: إن المريد لا يكون إلا لمراد معه: بل لم يزل عالما قادرا ثم أراد .
15. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (RA) said: al-Husayn ibn Aban said, on the authority of al-Husayn ibn Sa`d, on the authority of al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, on the authority of `Asin ibn Humayd, that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) saying that I asked him: “Has Allah always existed?” Thus, he (AS) replied, “Verily, the Willer can only exist if He has a Will. In fact, He has always been All-Knowing, All-Powerful, then He intended.”
