Hadith 1

y, wavering in the animal pits, and it is a doctrine of most of the speakers, and Al-Murtaza, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, chose it. And it is said, it is an airy body based upon animalistic construction, having like in every part of it – from Ali Bin Isa. He said, ‘For every animal, there is a soul and a body, except that from them is one the soul overcomes upon it, and from them is one the body overcomes upon it. And it is said that the soul is a display. Then there is differing in it. It is said, it is the life which the place is stored for the existence of the knowledge, and the power, and the choice, and it is a doctrine of the Sheikh Al-Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Numan, may Allah‑azwj be Pleased with him, and Al-Balkhy, and a group of Mu’tazilites of Baghdad. And it is said, it is a meaning regarding the heart – from Al-Aswary. And it is said that the soul of the human being, and it is the life encumbered – from Ibn Al-Akhsheyd and Al-Nazaam. And some of the scholars said that Allah-azwj Created the soul from six things – from essence of the light (noor), and the aroma, and the lasting, and the life, and the knowledge, and the loftiness. Don’t you see that for as long as it was in the body, the body would be radiant, seeing with the eyes and hearing with the ears, and it happens to be with aroma. So when it exits from the body, the body stinks, and it becomes a residue. When it separates it, it decays and perishes, and it had been alive, and by its exit he becomes dead, and he happened to be a knower, but when the soul exits from it, he does not know anything, and happened to be lofty, subtle, the life was found with him, by evidence of Words of the Exalted in a description of the martyrs: but they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3: 169], and their bodies have decayed in the soil. And His-azwj Words: and you are not Given from the knowledge (of it) except a little’ [17: 85]. And it is said, it Addresses the Prophet-saww and others when the soul is not revealed to him-saww. And it’s meaning is, and you have not been Given from the explicit knowledge upon it except a little, i. e. , a small thing, because the one not texted upon it is more. The Information of Allah-azwj the Exalted, there is no endpoint for it. And it is said, it is Addressed to the Jews who had asked him-azwj. The Jews said during that, ‘How, and Allah-azwj has Given us the Torah! ’ He-saww said: ‘The Torah, in the Knowledge of Allah-azwj, is little’. And Al-Razi said, ‘For the interpreters regarding the soul Mentioned in this Verse, there are (various) words, and it’s apparent is that the intent from it is the soul which is the cause of life’. Then he mentioned the report of the question of the Jews and vagueness of the Prophet-saww of the story of the soul and it’s falsity is weak aspects. Then he said, ‘But the chosen in our view is, they had asked him-saww about the soul, and he‑saww answered them about it based upon the excellent aspect, and its account is that the mentioned in the Verse, they had asked him-saww about the soul, and the question about it occurred upon many aspects. One of these is that it is said, ‘The essence of the soul, it is one-sided, or a state in the one-sided, or exists without being one-sided, nor a state in the one-sided’. And it’s second is that it is that the souls are ancient (eternal), or newly occurring. And it’s third is that it is said, do the souls remain after death of the bodies, or perish. And it’s fourth is that it is said, ‘What is the reality of the souls which are fortunate and their wretched-ones? ’
And in a summary, the discussion relating to the soul are many, and His-azwj Words: And they are asking you about the soul [17: 85], there isn’t anything in it what could evidence upon which of these question had they asked about, except that the Exalted, His-azwj Answer it not related except with two question from the questions which we have mention
