‘Al Tawheed’ – Abu Al Hassan Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Ali Al Basry, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Al Maysami, from Ali Bin Mahrawiya Al Qazwiny, from Abu Ahmad Al Gazy, From Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws having said: ‘I-asws heard my-asws father Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws saying: ‘The deeds are upon three states – Obligations, and the preferred, and disobedience. As for the Obligations, these are by the Command of Allah-azwj the Exalted and by the Pleasure of Allah-azwj, and by His-azwj Ordainment, and His-azwj Determination, and His-azwj Desire and His-azwj Knowledge. And as for the preferred (deeds), these aren’t by the Command of Allah-azwj, but by the Pleasure of Allah-azwj, and by the Ordainment of Allah-azwj, and by the Determination of Allah-azwj, and by the Desire of Allah-azwj, and by the Knowledge of Allah-azwj. And as for the (acts of) disobedience, these aren’t by the Command of Allah-azwj, but by the Ordainment of Allah-azwj, and by the Determination of Allah-azwj, and the by the Desire of Allah-azwj, and by His-azwj Knowledge, then He-azwj would Punish upon these’’.
