6. My father and Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid both said: Muhammad ibn Yahya al-`Attar and Ahmad ibn Idris both said, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn `Imran al-Ash`ari, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashim, on the authority of `Ali ibn Ma`bad, on the authority of `Umar ibn Udhaynah, on the authority of Zurarah that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq said: “Every bounty begins with Allah, the Mighty and High, who has bestowed it upon you. Every evil which befalls you is from yourselves, although the Divine Decrees flows in it.”
