Hadith 47

The Tafseer – From his father, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Hisham Bin Abdul Malik (Umayyid Caliph) went out as a pilgrim and with him was Al-Abrash Al-Kalby. They met Abu Abdullah-asws in the Sacred Masjid. Hisham said to Al-Abrash, ‘Do you know this one? ’ He said, ‘No’. He said, ‘This is the one whom the Shias claim that he-asws is a Prophet-as due to the plentiful of his-asws deeds’. Al-Abrash said, ‘I shall ask him-asws about issues, not one can answer me regarding these except a Prophet-saww, or a successor-as of a Prophet-as. Hisham said to Al-Abrash, ‘I would love it if you were to do that’. Al-Abrash met Abu Abdullah-asws. He said, ‘O Abu Abdullah-asws! Inform me 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]. So, what was their joining, and what was their separating? ’
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘O Abrash! It is just as He-azwj has Described it Himself-azwj: and His Throne was upon the water [11: 7], and the water was upon the air, and the air had no limits, and on that day, there did not happen to be any creation other than these two, and on that day the water was sweet, fresh. When He-azwj Wanted to Create the earth, He-azwj Commanded the winds. They struck the water until it became (with) waves. Then they increased, so it became one foam. He-azwj Gathered in the place of the House (Kabah). Then He-azwj made it a mountain of foam, then Spread the ground from beneath it. Surely,
