سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ لَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى هَذَا الْخَلْقَ لَمْ يَلُمْ أَحَدٌ أَحَداً فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ فَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ أَجْزَاءً بَلَغَ بِهَا تِسْعَةً وَ أَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءاً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْأَجْزَاءَ أَعْشَاراً فَجَعَلَ الْجُزْءَ عَشْرَةَ أَعْشَارٍ ثُمَّ قَسَمَهُ بَيْنَ الْخَلْقِ فَجَعَلَ فِي رَجُلٍ عُشْرَ جُزْءٍ وَ فِي آخَرَ عُشْرَيْ جُزْءٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ بِهِ جُزْءاً تَامّاً وَ فِي آخَرَ جُزْءاً وَ عُشْرَ جُزْءٍ وَ آخَرَ جُزْءاً وَ عُشْرَيْ جُزْءٍ وَ آخَرَ جُزْءاً وَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَعْشَارِ جُزْءٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ بِهِ جُزْءَيْنِ تَامَّيْنِ ثُمَّ بِحِسَابِ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ بِأَرْفَعِهِمْ تِسْعَةً وَ أَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءاً فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ فِيهِ إِلَّا عُشْرَ جُزْءٍ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَ صَاحِبِ الْعُشْرَيْنِ وَ كَذَلِكَ صَاحِبُ الْعُشْرَيْنِ لَا يَكُونُ مِثْلَ صَاحِبِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الْأَعْشَارِ وَ كَذَلِكَ مَنْ تَمَّ لَهُ جُزْءٌ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَ صَاحِبِ الْجُزْءَيْنِ وَ لَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ هَذَا الْخَلْقَ عَلَى هَذَا لَمْ يَلُمْ أَحَدٌ أَحَداً .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Musa, from Ahmad Bin Umar, from Yahya Bin Aban, from Shihab who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘If the people knew how Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Created this creation (people), no one would blame anyone’. So I said, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you<sup>asws</sup> well! How was that?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Created parts reaching forty-nine parts by it. Then He<sup>azwj</sup> Made the parts into tenths, thus making the ten tenths. Then He<sup>azwj</sup> Distributed it between the people. So He<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Made to be in a man a tenth of a part, and in another, two-tenths of a part, until reaching by it, a complete part; and in another a part and a tenth of a part, and another a part and two-tenths of a part, and another a part and three-tenths of a part, until reaching by it, two parts complete. Then by the accounting of that, until reaching with the highest of them, forty nine parts. So the one in whom there has not been Made to be except for a tenth of a part would not be able upon becoming like the owner of the two-tenths; and similarly the owner of the two-tenths cannot happen to be like the owner of the three-tenth; and similar to that, the one for whom a part is complete is not able upon becoming like the owner of the two parts. And if the people knew that Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Created this creation (people) upon this, no one would blame any one’.
