Hadith 51

(The book) ‘Al Illal’ – From his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Sayyari, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Mihran Al Kufi, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from his father, from Abu Is’haq Al Laysi who said, ‘Abu Ja’far-asws said to me: ‘O Ibrahim! Allah-azwj the Exalted did not cease to be a Knower. He‑azwj Created the things, not from a thing, and the one who claims that Allah-azwj mighty and Majestic Created the things from a thing, so he is committing Kufr, because if that thing from which He-azwj had Created the things, was ancient with Him-azwj in His-azwj eternality and His-azwj Godship, that (thing) would have been eternal. But Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the things, all of them, not from a thing. It was from what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Created, was good earth. Then He‑azwj Flowed sweet fresh water from it. He-azwj Presented our-asws Wilayah, People-asws of the Household, to it. It accepted it. So, He-azwj Flowed that water upon it for seven days until He‑azwj had Layered it and capped it. Then He-azwj Depleted that water away from it. He-azwj Took from the elite of that clay, a clay and Made it to be the clay of the Imams-asws. Then He-azwj Took the heavy of that clay and Created our-asws Shias from it’ – the Hadeeth’’. [56]
