Hadith 13

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – From Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ali Bin Hassan, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Salama Bin Khattab, and someone else from Ali Bin Hassan, from Ali Bin Atiya, from Ali Bin Ri’ab, ‘Raising it to Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘There is a river for Allah-azwj below His-azwj Throne, and below the river which is below His-azwj Throne, there is a radiating light, and in the banks of the river there are two created souls, the Holy Spirit, and a soul from His-azwj Command. And for Allah-azwj there are five clays from the Paradise and five from the earth’. He-asws explained the Gardens and explained the earth, then said: ‘There is none from a Prophet-as, nor an Angel, a ‘Jabl’ from after it, except He-azwj Blows into him from one of the two souls, and He-azwj Made the Prophet-saww to be from one of the two clays’. I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st, ‘What is ‘Al Jabl’? ’ He-asws said: ‘Created being other than us-asws, People-asws of the Household, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created us from ten clays and Blew into us-asws both the two souls, so it was fragranced by it with a fragrance’’. [24]
And it is reported by someone else from Abu Al Samir who said, ‘The (five) clays of the Gardens are the garden of Eden, and the garden of Al-Mawa, and Al-Naeem, and Al-Firdows, and Al-Khuld; and (the five) clays of the earth are Makkah, and Al-Medina, and Al-Kufa, and Bayt Al-Maqdis, and Al-Heyr’’.
