Hadith 61

‘Al Tawheed’ – Al Daqaq, from Al Asady, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mamoun Al Qarshy, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam who said, ‘Abu Shakir Al-Daysani said to me, ‘There are issues for me. Will you seek permission for me to see your Master-asws, for I have asked about these a group of scholars, but they did not answer me with a satisfactory answer’. I said, ‘Is it for you that you inform me with these, perhaps with me there are answers you would be pleased with? ’ He said, ‘I would love to cast these to Abu Abdullah-asws’. I sought permission for him, and he came and said to him-asws, ‘Will you-asws permit me regarding the questions? ’
He-asws said to him: ‘Ask about whatever comes to you’. He said to him-asws, ‘What is the evidence that there is a Maker for you-asws? ’
He-asws said: ‘I-asws found myself-asws as not being empty from one of the two aspects – Either I-asws have made myself-asws – then I-asws would not be empty from one of the two meanings – either I-asws made it and I-asws was existing, or I-asws made it and was non-existent. If I-asws made it and was existent, then I-asws was needless of its existence from making it, and if I-asws was non-existent, then (even) you know that the non-existent cannot make anything. Thus, the third meaning has been proved that there is a Maker for me, and He-azwj is Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds’. He arose and did not respond with an answer’. [64]
