15. `Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Wahhab said: Ahmad ibn al-Fadl ibn al-Mughayrah reported to us that Mansur ibn `Abd Allah ibn Ibrahim al-Isbahani said: `Ali ibn `Abd Allah said: Abu Shu`ayb al-Mahamili said, on the authority of `Abd Allah ibn Muskan, on the authority of Abu Basir that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq was asked whether recognition is obtained. Thus, he answered, “No.” It was asked from him, “Then, is it bestowed by Allah, the Mighty and High?” He replied, “The servants do not have a part in it. The only things they obtain are their actions.” Then he added, “The actions of the servants are created with decreed creation, and not with constitutional creation. In other word, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has always been All-Knowing of their decrees, even before their creation.”
