Hadith 31

(The book) ‘Illal Al Sharaie’ – Ahmad Bin Al Husayn Al Neshapury and what I found having been attributed as being from him, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq Bin Ibrahim, from Al Hassan Bin Arafah, from Wakie, from Muhammad Bin Israil, from Abu Salih, ‘From Abu Zarr-ra having said, ‘I-ra heard Rasool-Allah-saww and he-saww was saying: ‘I-saww and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws have been Created from one Noor. We-asws glorified Allah-azwj on the right of the Throne before He-azwj Created Adam-as by two thousand years. When Allah-azwj had Created Adam-as, He-azwj Made that Noor to be in his-as Sulb, and Settled him-as in the Paradise while we-asws were in his-as Sulb; and he-as thought with making the mistake while we-asws were in his-as Sulb, and Noah-as had sailed in the ship while we-asws were in his-as Sulb, and Ibrahim-as had been thrown in the fire while we-asws were in his-as Sulb. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic did not cease Transferring us-asws from clean Sulbs to clean laps until it ended up with us-asws to Abdul Muttalib-asws, the adultery did not come near me-saww at all. He-azwj Divided us-asws in two segments. He-azwj Made me-saww to be in the Sulb of Abdullah-asws and Made Ali-asws to be in the Sulb of Abu Talib-asws. And He-azwj Made the Prophet-hood and the Blessings to be in me-saww and Made the eloquence and the discernment to be in Ali-asws, and He-azwj Derived two names from His-azwj Names. The One-azwj with the Throne is ‘Mahmoud’ (the most Praised One) and I-saww am ‘Muhammad’ (the praised one); and Allah-azwj is ‘Al-A’ala (the most Exalted) and this is ‘Ali’ (the exalted)’’. [45]
