864 - Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Kahhal informed me that Abu 'Abdullah (Ahmad ibn Hanbal) said: "The Qadari who says that Allah did not know a thing until it came into existence is a disbeliever."
٨٦٤ - وَأَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْكَحَّالُ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: " الْقَدَرِيُّ الَّذِي يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ الشَّيْءَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ، هَذَا كَافِرٌ "
