Abdul Wahid Muhammad ibn Ubdoos al-Neishaburi al-Attar -may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Qutayba quoted on the authority of Hamdan ibn Soleiman al-Neishaboori, on the authority of Abdul Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi that he had heard Abul Hassan Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha’ (a.s.) say, “The acts of the people are created.” Abdul Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi asked the Imam (a.s.), “O son of the Prophet of God! What does created mean?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “It means they are destined.”
