11 - وقد روي لي من طريق أبي الحسين الأسدي رضي الله عنه في ذلك شئ غريب، وهو أنه روى أن الصادق عليه السلام قال: ما بدا لله بداء كما بدا له في إسماعيل أبي إذا أمر أباه إبراهيم بذبحه ثم فداه بذبح عظيم، وفي الحديث على الوجهين جميعا عندي نظر، إلا أني أوردته لمعنى لفظ البداء والله الموفق للصواب باب المشيئة والإرادة
11. The following astonishing tradition has been related to me on the authority of Abu allHusayn al-Asadi 
that Al-Sadiq 
said:
“Nothing appeared to Allah as regards to my father Isma`il when He ordered His father Ibrahim to slaughter him, but He ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice.” The Compiler of his book says: In this tradition with both its meanings, I have my consideration. However, I have transmitted them here for the meaning of the word `appearance’ [bada’]. Allah is the Director to the correctness.
