The extent of human influence and involvement in the actions issued by him is one of the important topics that has always been the focus of the thinkers of different Islamic theological sects throughout the history of Islamic theology. Based on this, the theories of determinism, the theory of gain, assignment and inter-command have been proposed. Some who did not have the divine knowledge of the Imams (A.S.) believed in delegation, meaning the independence of man in his actions and the absence of God's influence in man's actions, due to the defense of human agency and freedom. Ash'arism and Imami scholars attribute the mentioned belief to Mu'tazilism. After explaining the mentioned claim, this article examines the validity of this relation and claim by referring to the remaining works of Mu'tazilism theologians and other theologians of his time, and makes it clear that Mu'tazilism only tried to negate determinism and prove the free will of man. They have no opinion on the proof of delegation.
