Hadith 1

e parts of knowledge. Or do they not see, those who are committing Kufr, [21: 30]. Al-Tabarsi said, ‘Understand, the reprimand is intended by it, and the meaning is, or don’t they know that Allah-azwj the Glorious is the One-azwj Who has Done these things, and no one else is able upon it? So, He‑azwj is the God-azwj Deserving of being worshipped besides others. that the skies and the earth were joined up, and We Separated them? [21: 30]. It’s determination was with joining, and the meaning ‘were joined up’, is adhering, supporting (each other). He-azwj Separated between them with the air. From Ibn Abbas and others (not a Hadeeth), ‘And it is said that the skies were raised high, layered, and these were separated into seven skies, and the earth was like that, and it was separated into seven earths – from Mujahid, and Al-Sady. And it is said the sky was joined up, not raining, and the earth was joined up, not growing (vegetation). So He-azwj Split the sky with the rain and the earth with the vegetation – From Ikrimah (Bin Abu Jahl-la, and Atiya, and Ibn Zayd, and it is reported from Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws – end. And it is reported by Al Kulayni in ‘Al Rowza’, from a number of his companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali who said, ‘Nafie asked Abu Ja’far-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Or do they not see, those who are committing Kufr, that the skies and the earth were joined up, and We Separated them? [21: 30]. He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Sent down Adam-as to the earth, and the skies were joined up, nor raining anything, and the earth was joined upon, not growing anything. When Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Turned to Adam-as (with Mercy), He-azwj Commanded the sky, so it Sent drops by the clouds. Then He-azwj Commanded it, and it rained heavily. Then He-azwj Commanded the earth, so it grew the trees, and the trees to bear fruits and it flowed with the rivers. So that was its splitting and this is its splitting’. Nafie said, ‘You-asws speak the truth, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! ’ – up to the end of the Hadeeth’. And We Made from the water, all living things [21: 30]. Tabarsi said, ‘I. e. , And We-azwj Revived with the water which We-azwj Sent down from the sky, all living things. And it is said, from the seed all created beings’ – and the first is more correct. And it is reported by Al-Ayyashi, by his chain from Al-Husayn Bin Ulwan who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws was asked about the taste of water. He-asws said, ‘Ask to understand but do not ask obstinately. The taste of water is taste of life. Allah-azwj the Glorious Said: And We Made from the water, all living things [21: 30]’. And it is said it’s meaning is, ‘And We-azwj made from the water, the life of all with the soul, and the growth of every growth. So, it is included in it, the animals, and the vegetations, and the trees – from Abu Muslim (Majma al Bayan V 7). So will they not believe? [21: 30] – i. e. Will they not ratify the Quran and due to what they are witnessing from the evidence and the proof? ’[1]
