Hadith 24

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie Al Fawaid’ and ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – It is reported by the sheykh Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, by his chain, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan, from his men, ‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Created the Noor of Muhammad-saww from His-azwj Invention from the Noor of His-azwj Magnificence and His-azwj Majesty, and it is a Noor of Divinity which began, and it flashed to Musa-as in (mount) Toor of Sinai. It neither settled for him-as nor could Musa-as tolerate seeing it, nor was it affirmed for him-as until he-as fell down stunned, there being unconsciousness upon him-as, and that Noor was the Noor of Muhammad-saww. When He-azwj Wanted to Create Muhammad-saww from it, Divided that Noor in two halves. He-azwj Created Muhammad-saww from the first half, and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws from the other, and He-azwj did not Create anyone else from that Noor. He-azwj Created them-asws both with His-azwj Hands and Blew into them-asws with His-azwj Self for Himself-azwj and Imaged them-asws upon their-asws images. He-azwj Made them as trustees for Him-azwj, and witnesses upon His-azwj creatures, and caliphs upon His-azwj creatures, and eyes for Him-azwj upon them, and tongues for Him-azwj to them. He-azwj Deposited into them-asws His-azwj Knowledge and Taught them-asws the explanation, and Notified them upon His-azwj unseen, and by them-asws He-azwj Began the initiation of the creation, and by them-asws He-azwj will End the kingdom and the Pre-determinations. Then He-azwj Extracted his-saww daughter-asws Fatima-asws from the Noor of Muhammad-saww just as light is extracted from the lamps. They-asws were Created from the Noors and transferred from a back to a back, and Sulb to a Sulb, and from a lap to a lap, in the highest class from without any uncleanness. But transfer after transfer, not from despicable water, nor from lousy seed like the rest of His-azwj creatures. But Noors from clean Sulbs to clean wombs, because they-asws are elites of the elites. He-azwj Chose them-asws for Himself-azwj because He-azwj can neither be seen, nor realised, nor can His-azwj qualitative state be known, nor His-azwj when-ness. So, they-asws are the speakers, the deliverers on His-azwj behalf, the ones-asws in charge regarding His-azwj Commands and His-azwj Prohibitions. In them-asws His-azwj Power is manifested, and from them you see His-azwj signs and His-azwj Miracles, and by them-asws and from them His-azwj Self is worshipped, and by them-asws His-azwj Commands are obeyed. And had it not been for them-asws, Allah-azwj would not have been recognised, nor would it be known how the Beneficent be worshipped. Allah-azwj will Fulfil His-azwj Command however He-azwj so Desires to regarding what He-azwj Desires; He cannot be questioned about what He Does, and they would be Questioned [21: 23]’’. [37]
