Original Arabic text

2ـ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضاً عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) قَالَ لا يَكُونُ شَيْ‏ءٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلا فِي الارْضِ إِلا بِسَبْعٍ بِقَضَاءٍ وَقَدَرٍ وَإِرَادَةٍ وَمَشِيئَةٍ وَكِتَابٍ وَأَجَلٍ وَإِذْنٍ فَمَنْ زَعَمَ غَيْرَ هَذَا فَقَدْ كَذَبَ عَلَى الله أَوْ رَدَّ عَلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

Published English translation

2. He has narrated it from his father from Muhammad ibn Khalid from Zakariya ibn ‘Imran from abu al-Hassan Musa ibn Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following. There is nothing in heavens or on earth without seven: the decree, the measure, the will, the wish, the record (book) the duration and the permission. Whoever, would think something else he certainly has spoken a lie against Allah or has rejected Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High.

Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
