Hadith 32

(The book) ‘Illal Al Sharaie’ – Ibrahim Bin Haroun Al Haysami, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Abu Al Salj, from Isa Bin Mihran, from Munzir Al Sharak, from Ismail Bin Ulyah, from Aslam Bin Maysara Al Ijaly, from Anas Bin Malik (well known fabricator), from Muaz Bin Jabal, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created me-saww and Ali-asws, and Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws before He-azwj Created the world by seven thousand years’. I said ‘So, where were you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ He-saww said: ‘In front of the Throne. We-asws were glorifying Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and praising Him-azwj, and extolling His-azwj Holiness and His-azwj Glory’. I said, ‘Upon which resemblance? ’
He-saww said: ‘Resemblances of Noor, until when Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Wanted to Create our-asws images, He-azwj Made us-asws to be pillars of Noor. Then He-azwj Cast us-asws into the Sulb of Adam-as, then Extracted us-asws to the Sulbs of the father and laps of the mothers, and the uncleanness of Shirk did not touch us-asws nor did the immorality of Kufr. A people are fortunate due to us-asws and others are wretched due to us-asws. When we-asws came to be to the Sulb of Abdul Muttalib-asws, He-azwj Extracted that Noor and Split it in two halves. He-azwj Made half of it to be in Abdullah and half of it to be in Abu Talib-asws. Then He-azwj Extracted the half which was for me-saww to Aamina-asws and the half which was for Ali-asws, to Fatima-asws Bint Asad-as. So, Aamina-asws brought me-saww out and Fatima-asws brought out Ali-asws. Then the Mighty and Majestic Returned the pillars to me-saww. He-azwj Extracted Fatima-asws from me-saww, then the Mighty and Majestic Returned the Pillars to Ali-asws and Extracted Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws from him-asws, meaning from the two halves together. So, whatever was from the Noor of Ali-asws, came to be in the children of Al-Hassan-asws, and whatever was from my-saww Noor, it came to be in the children of Al-Husayn-asws, and it would be transferred into the Imams-asws from his-asws sons-asws up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.
