92. It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The Magians of this Ummah are those who deny the decrees of Allâh. If they fall sick, do not visit them; if they die, do not attend their funerals; and if you meet them, do not greet them with Salâm.'" (Da'if)
92 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ مَجُوسَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ بِأَقْدَارِ اللَّهِ، إِنْ مَرِضُوا فَلَا تَعُودُوهُمْ، وَإِنْ مَاتُوا فَلَا تَشْهَدُوهُمْ، وَإِنْ لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَلَا تُسَلِّمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ»

Those who deny the Divine Decree, claim that Allâh is only the creator of virtue, while it is man who is the creator of vice. In this way, they invest every man with the attribute of creation. The Magians believe in two deities, one (Ahuramazda) the creator of good and the other (Angra Mainyu or Ahriman) the creator of evil. Thus both, the deniers of Divine Decree and the Magians, ascribe the attribute of the creation of evil to someone other than Allāh. Ahlus-Sunnah (People of the Prophet's Path), however, believe that Allāh alone is the creator of all things – be they good and virtuous, or bad and evil – while man is the doer of those deeds. Allāh in His infinite wisdom has granted His slaves the ability to do the deeds accordingly.
