Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al- Rahman from more than one person from Abu Ja’far , and Abu ‘Abd Allah , who said:

“Allah is more kind to His creatures than to compel them to sin and then punish them. Allah, the Most Majestic, is by far beyond willing something that cannot come into existence.” The two Imams were asked if there was a third reality between compulsion and predetermination. They replied, ‘Yes, there is something bigger than what is between the sky and the earth.’”
