Examining the Encounter of Kulayni and Ṣadūḳ with the Ḥadiths Pertaining to the Divine Will

Theḳatul-Islam Kulayni and Sheikh Ṣadūḳ, two great narrators of Imamiyyah and author of two worthy ḥadith works of al-‘Uṣūl min al-Kāfī and al-Tawḥīd, each of them is heir of a trend of the Imamiyyah history of ḥadith and narrative kalam which has chosen and classified the narrations pertaining to divine will on the basis of his pattern and knowledge system. Although the common theoretical points between these two high-ranking narration-transmitters such as the will being created, being an act attribute, being certain and uncertain, including the creation and legislation worlds and the like are so much, the most distinct different point between Sheikh Ṣadūḳ and Kulayni is in offering other themes of the content pertaining to the divine will such as the levels of the divine act. Kulayni believes in the divine act as having levels on the basis of some narrations, but Sheikh Ṣadūḳ did not narrated these themes probably because they have affinities with determinism in acts, but he tried to explain the divine role in human will and to show the generality and encompassment of the divine will and providence.
