Hadith 30

icacies except the Guided Imams-asws from the family of the Progeny-asws of the Rasool-saww. If they were to say, ‘If only Allah-azwj would have Delegated His-azwj Command to them upon an aspect of the carelessness, it would be Pleasure for Him-azwj in whatever he chose, and they would be Obligated with the Rewards due to it, and there would not happen to be any Punishment upon them regarding what felonies they commit, when the carelessness has occurred. And the utilisation of these words is upon two meanings – Either the servants become pretending upon Him-azwj and necessitate Him-azwj to Accept their choices of their opinions as necessary, whether He-azwj Dislikes that or Loves, then the enfeeblement has necessitated on Him-azwj, or the Majestic and Holy is frustrated (Nouzobillah) from their servitude with the Command and Prohibition on His-azwj Will, so He-azwj Delegates His-azwj Commands and His-azwj Prohibitions to them, and Recompenses them upon their love, when He-azwj is frustrated (Nouzobillah) with the Command and the Prohibition upon His-azwj Will, so He-azwj Makes the choice to be for them regarding the Kufr and the Eman. An example of that is an example of a man owning a slave he has bought to serve him, and he recognises the merit for him and his wilayah, and his pausing at his instructions and his prohibition.

Whichever order he orders his with, or prohibition he prohibits him from, he does not carry out upon the will of the master, but the slave pursues his own intentions. And, he sends him regarding one of his needs, and therein is the need for him, and the slave comes with other than that need to his master, and aims his own intention, and pursues his own desires. When he returns to his master, he looks at what he gives him, and it is different to what he had ordered him with, and the slave says, ‘I relied upon your delegating the matter to me, so I pursued my own whims and my intentions, because the delegate is without any restrictions upon him’. It is impossible for the Delegation and the restriction to be together’. Then he-asws said: ‘The one who claims that Allah-azwj Delegated the acceptance of His-azwj Commands and His-azwj Prohibitions to His-azwj servants, so he has proved the frustration (Nouzobillah) upon Him-azwj, and Obligated the acceptance upon Him-azwj all of what they do, be it good or evil, and invalidate the Commands of Allah-azwj the Exalted and His-azwj Prohibitions’. Then he-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Created the creation by His-azwj Power and Gave them the capabilitie
