3 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِى ماجِيلوَيْه رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَلِىِّ بْنِ إِبراهِيمِ بْنِ هاشِم، عَن أَبيهِ، عَن ياسِر الخادِم قالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي التَّفْوِيضِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَوَّضَ إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ أَمْرَ دِينِهِ فَقَالَ ما آتاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَما نَهاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا فَأَمَّا الْخَلْقَ وَالرِّزْقَ فَلا ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ رَزَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكائِكُمْ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ مِنْ ذلِكُمْ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ سُبْحانَهُ وَتَعالى‏ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ.
46-3 Muhammad ibn Ali Majilawayh رضي الله عنه narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Yasir - the servant: I asked Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام, “What do you think about turning over the affairs?” He عليه السلام answered, “The Blessed the Sublime God has turned over the affairs of His Religion to His Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and said, ‘…So take what the Apostle assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you..’ God, however, will not turn over the affairs of Creation and provision of the sustenanceto the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم.” Then Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام added, “In fact, the Honorable the Exalted God said, ‘…Allah is the Creator of all things…’ God also said, ‘It is Allah Who has created you: further, He has provided for your sustenance; then He will cause you to die; and again He will give you life. Are there any of your (false) ‘partners’ who can do any single one of these things? Glory be to Him! and high is He above the partners they attribute (to him)!’”
