(1) (Ayn) reads: “acts.” (2) (Ayn) reads: “It was related from Jaʿfar.” This is Jaʿfar ibn Harb al-Hamdānī, one of the leading Muʿtazilites of Baghdad. He studied under Abū al-Hudhayl al-ʿAllāf and died in 236 AH. The Jaʿfariyya sect is attributed to him and to Abū Jaʿfar ibn Mubashshir al-Thaqafī (d. 234 AH). On him and the Jaʿfariyya, see *Tārīkh Baghdād*, 7:162; *Lisān al-Mīzān*, 2:113; al-Ziriklī, *al-Aʿlām*, 2:116–117; *al-Farq bayn al-Firaq*, pp. 101–102; and *al-Tabsīr fī al-Dīn*, pp. 47–48. (3) The passage in square brackets—“They maintain that the servants’ deeds … Hishām ibn al-Hakam”—is absent from N and M. (4) “Acts” is absent from N. The phrase “Indeed, [a person’s] acts” is absent from M, while “indeed” is absent from (Ayn). (5) (Ayn) reads: “voluntary in one respect and involuntary in another.” (6) “For him” in both occurrences is absent from *al-Maqālāt*, while (Ayn) has the adjectival form “voluntary.” (7) (Ayn) reads: “and involuntary.” (8) (Ayn) reads: “the arising of the *kasb* (acquisition) that impels him to it”; *al-Maqālāt* reads: “the arising of the cause that impels him to them.” (9) “From the Imams” is absent from B and A. (10) *Al-Maqālāt* reads: “concerning the servants’ deeds”; N reads: “nothing.” The sentence runs: “They did not venture to say anything concerning the servants’ acts—whether they are created or not.” (11) B and A read: “acts.”
