H 380, Ch. 25, h 1
It is narrated from a number of our people from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn
Khalid from his father and Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from
al-Husayn ibn Said and Muhammad ibn Khalid altogether from Fudala ibn Ayyub from
Muhammad ibn Ammara from Hariz ibn Abdallah and Abdallah ibn Maskan
altogether from abu Abdallah (a.s.) who said the following.
"There is nothing in the heavens and on earth without these seven charateristics: the
wish, the will, the measure, the decree, the permission, the record and duration.Whoever
thinks that he can do without any one of these he has become a unbeliever."
From Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Muhammad ibn Hafs from Muhammad ibn Ammara from Hariz ibn Abdallah and ibn Maskan a similar Hadith is narrated.
H 381, Ch. 25, h 2
He has narrated it from his father from Muhammad ibn Khalid from
Zakariya ibn Imran from abu al-Hassan Musa ibn Jafar (a.s.) who has said the
following.
There is nothing in heavens or on earth without seven: the decree, the measure, the will,
the wish, the record (book) the duration and the permission. Whoever, would think
something else he certainly has spoken a lie against Allah or has rejected Allah, the Most
Holy, the Most High.
