Hadith 48

(The book) ‘Al Uyoon’ – From Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Ali Al Basry, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Wa’iz, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad Bin Aamir Al Taie, from his father, ‘From Al-Reza-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Ali-asws was in the central Masjid of Al-Kufa when a man from the people of Syrian stood up to him-asws. He said, ‘Inform me about the first of what Allah-azwj Created’. He-asws said: ‘He-azwj Created the Noor’. He said, ‘From what were the skies created? ’ He-asws said: ‘From water vapour’. He said, ‘What was the earth created from? ’ He-asws said: ‘From foam of the water’. He said, ‘From what was the mountain created? ’ He-asws said: ‘From the waves’ – the Hadeeth’’. [53]
Explanation: It is possible that the intent with the ‘Noor’ is Noor of the Prophet-saww and the Imams-asws just as has been referred in many Ahadeeth.
