8 - حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد بن عبد الوهاب، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن الفضل ابن المغيرة، قال: حدثنا أبو نصر منصور بن عبد الله بن إبراهيم الإصفهاني، قال: حدثنا علي بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا الحسين بن بشار، عن أبي الحسن علي بن موسى الرضا عليهما السلام، قال: سألته أيعلم الله الشئ الذي لم يكن أن لو كان كيف كان يكون (٢) أو لا يعلم إلا ما يكون؟ فقال: إن الله تعالى هو العالم بالأشياء قبل كون الأشياء، قال الله عز وجل: ﴿إنا كنا نستنسخ ما كنتم تعملون﴾ (٣) وقال لأهل النار: ﴿ولو ردوا لعادوا لما نهوا عنه وإنهم لكاذبون﴾ فقد علم الله عز وجل أنه لو ردهم لعادوا لما نهوا عنه، وقال للملائكة لما قالوا: (أتجعل فيها من يفسد فيها وسيفك الدماء ونحن نسبح بحمدك ونقدس لك قال إني أعلم ما لا تعلمون) فلم يزل الله عز وجل علمه سابقا للأشياء قديما قبل أن يخلقها، فتبارك ربنا تعالى علوا كبيرا خلق الأشياء وعلمه بها سابق لها كما شاء، كذلك لم يزل ربنا عليما سميعا بصيرا.
8. `Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Walid said: Ahmad ibn al-Fadl ibn al-Mughirah said: Abu Nasr Mansur ibn `Abd Allah ibn Ibrahim al-Isfahani said: `Ali ibn `Abd Allah said: al-Husayn ibn Bashshar, that I asked Abu al-Hasan `Ali ibn Musa al-Rida : “Does Allah know the things which have not occurred that if they did occur how would they be or He does not?” He
said: Verily, Allah, the Exalted be He, is aware of all things even before they come into existence. Allah, the Mighty and High, says: Surely, We wrote what you did,1 and He says to the people going to the Hell: And if they were sent back, they would certainly go back to that which they are forbidden, and most surely the are liars.2 Hence, Allah the Mighty and High, knew that if He sent them back, they would certainly go back to what they were forbidden. And he said to the angels when they said: What! Wilt Thou place in it such as shall make mischief in it and shed blood, and we celebrate Thy praise and extol Thy holiness? He said: Surely, I know what you do not know.3 Therefore, the Knowledge of Allah, the Mighty and High, is eternal, and embraces all things even before they are created. Blessed be our Lord, the Exalted, the Elevated, and the Great, who created things and had knowledge of them prior to their creation. Verily, our Lord has always been All-Knowing, All-Hearing, and All-Seeing.
