2. [2/351] al-Kafi: Muhammad b. Yahya al-Attar from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa al-Ash’ari from al-Husayn b. Sai’d al-Ahwazi from al-Nadhr b. Suwayd from A’sim b. Humayd from Abi Abdillah . He (A’sim) said: I said: Allah never stopped willing? He said: The one who wills cannot be (considered as such) except that what is willed is (present) with Him. (Instead say:) Allah never stopped being knowledgeable and powerful and then He willed.
