Arabic text

16 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد بن عمران الدقاق رحمه الله قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن محمد بن إسماعيل البرمكي، عن الحسين بن الحسن، عن بكر بن صالح، عن علي بن أسباط، عن الحسن بن الجهم، عن بكير بن أعين، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: علم الله ومشيته هما مختلفان أم متفقان؟ فقال: العلم ليس هو المشية، ألا ترى أنك تقول: سأفعل كذا إن شاء الله، ولا تقول سأفعل كذا إن علم الله، فقولك إن شاء الله دليل على أنه لم يشأ، فإذا شاء كان الذي شاء كما شاء، وعلم الله سابق للمشية.

Translation

16. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq (RA) said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi said, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isma`il al-Barmaki, on the authority of al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan, on the authority of Bakr ibn Salih, on the authority of `Ali ibn Asbat, on the authority of alHasan ibn al-Jahm, on the authority of Bukayr ibn A`yun that I asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS): “Are the Knowledge and Will of Allah separate or united?” Thus, he (AS) replied, The Knowledge of Allah is not the same as the Will of Allah. Do you not say that you will do something `Allah willing’, yet you do not say that you will do something `Allah knowing.’ Therefore, your statement `Allah willing’ is a proof that He did not will it, If He had willed, it would have been as He had willed. Allah’s Knowledge is prior to Allah’s Will.
