9. My father said: `Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of `Ali ibn Ma’bad, on the authority of Durust ibn Abu Mansur, on the authority of Fudayl ibn Yasar that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq said:

He wills, He intends, He dislikes, and He is displeased. He wills that nothing should exist without His Knowledge, and He intends similar to that. He dislikes it to be said of Him that `He is the third of the three,’ and He is displeased with His Servant’s’ disbelief.
