3. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid said: al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan ibn Aban said, on the authority of al-Husayn ibn Sa`id, on the authority of `Ubayd ibn Zurarah that Hamzah ibn Humran related to me that I asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq about the issue of ability, but he did not answer me. So I entered his presence at another time and said: “May Allah be in peace with you! A doubt has entered my heart which nobo0dy can remove but you.” He said:

Verily, what is in your hear will not harm you?” I said: May Allah be in peace with you! AI believe: Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, does not burden His Servants with more than they can bear. They do not do anything except by the Intent, Will, Predestination and Decree of Allah. He responded, “This is the religion of Allah in which I believe, and in which my forefathers believed.” Or he said something along those lines. The Compiler of this book says: Allah’s Will and His Intent refer to His Command, and the pleasure found in His Obedience. And in the disobedience is commandment to refrain and forbiddance from them through restraint and warning.
