Chapter on Wish and Will

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ شَاءَ وَأَرَادَ وَلَمْ يُحِبَّ وَلَمْ يَرْضَ شَاءَ أَنْ لا يَكُونَ شَيْ‏ءٌ إِلا بِعِلْمِهِ وَأَرَادَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يُحِبَّ أَنْ يُقَالَ ثَالِثُ ثَلاثَةٍ وَلَمْ يَرْضَ لِعِبَادِهِ الْكُفْرَ.
5. It is narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ali ibn Ma‘bad from Durost ibn abu Mansur from Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following. “I heard Imam abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام saying, ‘He wanted and willed and did not love and did not agree. He wanted something nor to happen except in His knowledge and He willed in the same way but He did not love it to be said, “The third of the three and He did not agree that His servants become unbelievers.”
