Hadith 15

asws is more preserving of it than him-as. Then he-asws recited the Psalms of Dawood-as to the extent that if Dawood-as had been present, he-as would have acknowledged that he-asws is more preserving of it than him-as. Then he-asws recited the Evangel of Isa-as to the extent that if Isa-as had been present, he-as would have acknowledge that he-asws is more preserving of it than him-as. Then he-asws recited the Quran which Allah-azwj had Revealed unto me-saww, from its beginning to its end, and I-saww found him-asws to have preserved it like my-saww preserving of it at the moment, from without him-asws having heard any Verse from it. Then he-asws addressed me-asws and I-saww addressed him-asws with the Prophets-as had addressed the successors-as with. Then he-asws returned to the state of his-asws childhood. And like this are twelve Imams-asws from his-asws lineage. So, do not be grieving, and what is that upon you all from the word of the people of doubt and association with Allah-azwj. Are you knowing that I-saww am the most superior of the Prophets-as and that my-saww successor-asws is the most superior of the successors-as? And when my-saww father-as Adam-as saw my-saww name, and name of Ali-asws and my-saww daughter-asws (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and names of their-asws children having been Inscribed upon the Base of the Throne with the Noor, said: ‘My-as God-azwj and my-as Master-azwj! Have you-as Created any creature who is more honourable to You-azwj than me-as? ’
He-azwj Said: “O Adam-as! Had it not been for these names, I-azwj would neither have Created the built sky, nor the spread earth, nor an Angel of Proximity, nor any Messenger-as Prophet-as, nor Created you-as, O Adam-as! ”
When Adam-as disobeyed his-as Lord-azwj and asked Him-azwj by our-asws rights that He-azwj Accepts his-as repentance and Forgive his-as mistake, He-azwj Answered him-as. And we-asws are the Words (Names) which Adam-as had received from his-as Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic, so He-azwj Turned to him-as and Forgave (his-as mistake) for him-as. He-azwj Said to him-as: “O Adam-as! These are names from your-as offspring and your-as children! ” Adam praised his-as Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic and prided upon the Angels by us-asws, and that this is from our-asws merits and Grace of Allah-azwj upon us-asws’. Salman-ra and the ones with him-ra stood up and they said, ‘We are the successful ones! ’ Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘You are the successful ones, and the Paradise has been Created for you all, and the Fire has been Created for our-asws enemies and your enemies’’.
