Hadith 191

‘Tafseer Al Ayyashi’ – From Humran who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Allah Deletes and Affirms whatever He so Desires to, and with Him is the Mother of the Book [13: 39]. He-asws said: ‘O Humran! Whenever it is the Night of Pre-determination, and the recording Angels descend to the sky of the world, and they are writing whatever matter He-azwj has Ordained during that year. When Allah-azwj Wants to Bring forward anything, or Delay anything, or Reduce from it, or Increase a matter, Commands the Angel, and he deletes whatever He-azwj had Desired, then He-azwj Affirms that which He-azwj Wants’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws at that, ‘So, every thing that is happening, it is with Allah-azwj in a Book? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Such and such takes place, then such and such, until it ends up to its end? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Then which thing would be happing by His-azwj Hands after it? ’ He-asws said: ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj! Then Allah-azwj Brings into being a new occurrence as well, whatever He-azwj, the Blessed and Exalted so Desires’’. [196]
