Hadith 99

‑azwj Holiness, and glorifying Him-azwj’. I said, ‘Upon which resemblance? ’ He-saww said: ‘Resembling Noor’ – the Hadeeth’’. [140]
Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim – By his chain, ‘From Abu Zarr-ra in a lengthy Hadeeth in description of the Mi’raj (ascension), up to he‑saww said: ‘I-saww said: ‘O Angels of my-saww Lord-azwj! Do you recognise us-asws as is the right of recognising us-asws? ’
They said, ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! And how can we not recognise you-asws all and you‑asws were the first of what Allah-azwj Created? He-azwj Created you-asws as resemblances of Noor from His-azwj Noor and Made seats for you-asws in the kingdoms of His-azwj Authority, and His‑azwj Throne was upon the water before the existence of the built-up sky and the spread-out earth. Then He-azwj Created the skies and the earth(s) in six days, then Raised the Throne to the seventh sky. He-azwj Evened upon His-azwj Throne, and you-asws all were in front of His‑azwj Throne, glorifying Him-azwj and extolling His-azwj Holiness and exclaiming His-azwj Greatness. Then He-azwj Created the Angels from an innovation of what He-azwj Wanted, from a variety of lights’ – the Hadeeth’’. [141]
(The book) ‘Nahj Al-Balagah’ –
‘From a sermon of his-asws mentioning in it beginning of the creation of the skies and the earth, and Creation of Adam-as: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who, the praises of the speakers cannot reach, nor can the counters count His-azwj Favours, nor can the strugglers fulfill His-azwj rights which remoteness of the attentions cannot realise, nor can the diving of the intellectuals attain Him-azwj. The One-azwj Who, there isn’t any limit limiting His-azwj description, nor does any epithet exist, nor any time counted, nor any term extended. He-azwj Originated the creation by His-azwj Power and Spread the winds by His-azwj Mercy and Pegged the field of His-azwj earth with the rocks. The first religion is recognising Him-azwj, and perfection of recognising Him-azwj is ratifying Him‑asws, and perfection of the ratification with Him-azwj is His-azwj Oneness, and perfection of His-azwj Oneness is the sincerity o Him-azwj, and perfection of the sincerity to Him-azwj is negating the descriptions from Him-azwj, for every description testified that it is other than the described, and the testimony of every described one is that it is other than the description. The one who described Allah-azwj the Glorious, so he has paired Him-azwj, and the one who pairs Him-azwj so he has dualled Him-azwj, and the one who dualled Him-azwj has segmented Him‑azwj, and the one who has segmented Him-azwj so he has ignored Him-azwj. And the one who indicates to Him-azwj, so he has limited Him-azwj, and the one who limits Him‑azwj, so he has counted Him-azwj, and the one who says, ‘In what’, so he has contained Him‑azwj, and the one who says, ‘Upon what’, has vacated from Him-azwj (being in another place). He-azwj is a Being not existing from an occurrence, nor from non-existence. He-azwj is with all things, not with (physical) attachment, and is other than all things, not by (physical) separation. He-azwj is a doer, not by the meaning of movement, and He-azwj is a Seeing God when there is no beholder from the creation to (look at) Him-azwj. He-azwj is alone where t
