22. My father said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah said, on the authority of Ya`qub ibn Yazid, on the authority of Muruk ibn `Ubayd, on the authority of `Amr one of our scholars that I said to Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq : “I have a family member who belongs to the Qadariya and who believes that we are able of doing so and so, and able of not doing so and so. So Abu `Abd Allah said: “tell him: “Do you have the ability to remember what you abhor, and to forget what you like?’ If he says: `No,’ then he has denounced his statement, and if he sas: `Yes,’ then do not speak to him again, for he has claimed to be God.”
