Hadith 31

j Ended for him with the wretchedness and what came to him-la. Then Allah-azwj the Exalted Mighty and Majestic Commanded our-asws Noors (lights) to glorify, so we-asws glorified and they (Jinn) glorified with our-asws glorification, and had it not been that, they would not have known how they should glorify Allah-azwj. Then Allah-azwj Created the earth and Wrote upon its horizons: “There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww, Ali Emir of the Momineen is his-saww successor-asws, and his-saww helper”. So, by that, O Jabir, the skies were established without pillars and the earth was affirmed. Then Allah-azwj the Exalted Created Adam-as from crust of the earth, and Completed him-as and Blew into him-as from His-azwj Spirit. Then He-azwj Extracted his-as offspring from his-as back and Took the Covenant for Him-azwj with the Lordship, and for Muhammad-saww with the Prophet-hood, and for Ali-asws with the Wilayah. He accepted from them one who accepted, and he rejected from them one who rejected. We-asws were the first ones to acknowledge with that. Then He-azwj Said to Muhammad-saww: “By My-azwj Mighty and My-azwj Majesty and Loftiness of My-azwj Glory! Had it not been for Ali-asws and both your-asws families, the guides, the guided ones, the rightful guides, I-azwj would not have Created the Paradise and the Fire, nor the place, nor the earth, nor the sky, nor the Angels, nor any creature to worship Me-azwj.

Then these guides, the guided ones, due to your-asws reason I-azwj Initiated the creation of what I-azwj Created, and you-asws are the choice of My-azwj creatures in what is between Me-azwj and My-azwj creatures. I-azwj Created you all from Noor of My-azwj Magnificence, and I-azwj Argue with you-asws about the ones besides you-asws from My-azwj creatures, and Made you-asws Acceptable with you-asws and Question with you-asws. Everything is perishable except My-azwj Face, and you-asws all are My-azwj Face. Neither will you-asws be destroyed nor will you-asws perish, or with the ones in your-asws Wilayah be destroyed or perish; and the one who faces Me-azwj with other so he has strayed and will collapse; and you-asws are the best of My-azwj creatures and bearers of My-azwj Secrets, and treasurers of My-azwj Knowledge, and chiefs of the inhabitants of the skies and inhabitants of the earth. Then Allah-azwj the Exalted Descended to the earth among shades of the clouds and the Angels, and our-asws Noors of People-asws of the Household descended with Him-azwj. We-a
