2. [2/351] al-Kafi: Muhammad b. Yahya al-Attar from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa al-Ash’ari from al-Husayn b. Sai’d al-Ahwazi from al-Nadhr b. Suwayd from A’sim b. Humayd from Abi Abdillah (as). He (A’sim) said
I said: Allah never stopped willing? He said: The one who wills cannot be (considered as such) except that what is willed is (present) with Him. (Instead say:) Allah never stopped being knowledgeable and powerful and then He willed.

Hadith 469
3. [3/352] al-Kafi: Ahmad b. Idris from Muhammad b. Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan b. Yahya who said
I said to Abi al-Hasan عليه السلام: Inform me about the Will of Allah and that of the creatures (are they the same)? He said: The Will of the creatures is a conception (thought in the heart) and then what they see fit to put into action, as for Allah the Elevated then His willing is to originate (bring into existence), nothing other than that, for He does not deliberate (consider), does not desire, does not ponder, these attributes are negated for Him, they are the attributes of the creation. The will of Allah is His act, nothing other than that. He says to it ‘be’ and it ‘is’ without wording or intoning by the tongue, without desiring or pondering. There is no ‘how’ to that just as there is no ‘how’ to Him.
[352/3] الكافي: أحمد بن إدريس، عن محمد بن عبدالجبار، عن صفوان بن يحيى قال
قلت لابي الحسن عليه السلام: أخبرني عن الارادة من الله ومن الخلق؟ قال: فقال: الارادة من الخلق الضمير وما يبدو لهم بعد ذلك من الفعل وأما من الله تعالى فإرادته إحداثه لا غير ذلك لانه لا يروي ولا يهم ولا يتفكر، وهذه الصفات منفية عنه وهي صفات الخلق، فإرادة الله الفعل، لا غير ذلك يقول له كن فيكون بلا لفظ ولا نطق بلسان ولا همة ولا تفكر ولا كيف لذلك، كما أنه لا كيف له
