SWEETSWORDS 21 [ Monad ]

BISMILLAH

Poga Humayun Dundiwala

Praiseworthy MUHAMMAD and most praiseworthy AHMAD
Are names of my lord MUHAMMAD Sallel La Hu Alahi Wa Sallam
Huma Say's in SWEETSWORDS sincere KALAM
Praiseworthy MUHAMMAD thee are the first submitted subject
The very first object of praiseworthy lord
The GOD of all gods ALLAH the AL AZIM
And there is nothing like him

Poga Say's in a foolington maze

He was told to declare
In submission and in sincere
To be the very first submitted subject
The very first object
An anchor for this vessel of existence
To be the very first instance
For timeless ALLAH
La Illa Ha Illel La
MUHAMMAD ur rasul ALLAH

Mr Barzakh Fitrath Ullah : To blackmail ALLAH emotionally
I cried YA ALLAH YA MUHAMMAD YA ALI
And my blackmail turned into lamp post
Delivering open letter in the hidden envelope to the BARZAKHS of horizon to horizon coast to coast

Mrs Be Aql Khan Usta :ALLAH cried be and things become
But what was the first thing Barzakh ALLAH cried what was that NAAM
We know when ALLAH wants things to be all he has to to is say be and it is done
But what was the first thing ALLAH wanted what was that genetic plan
Was it the ARSH the first thing when he felt he needs ti sit
Or was it the PEN when he felt he needs to write his divine writ
What was the first thing tell me BARZAKH
What was the first thing ALLAH created was it the water of JANNAH or the fire of NARAK

Brazakh : Present witness can lie
Like aquamarine mirage and blue sky
But with the correct circumstantial evidence and right hypothesis
You can go to the bottom of things and find its true genesis
Because i am an created thing i cannot say about before creation
But if something perplexes me then it is my duty to find its solution
And if is the only thing that will release me by knowing what ALLAH Subahan Allahu Thahlah created first
Then i should learn what is the proper intention and what is action just
Now we know ALLAH is free from every need
And we know about his attributes from AL QURAN Ul Majeed when we read
Now because ALLAH is all holy ALLAH is all good
Therefore what ever ALLAH will think and do have to be the blessed safe and sound MAHMOOD
What ever ALLAH will do first it will be the most praiseworthy
And name of that most praiseworthy essence is the essence of
MUHAMMAD Sallel la Hu Alahi Wa Sallim's Nurani Murthi
It is his most idol Murthi he created first as the Sajratul Yakeen
He created it first when there was no ARSH no KURSI no ANGEL no PEN no MEN no JINN
Therefore when MUHAMMAD Sallel La Hu Alahi Wa Sallim Say's ALLAH will cry after QIAMAH is NINAD E MUHAMMAD
Indicating in order to create after destruction MUHMMAD is the word of GOD
So if name of MUHAMMAD is needed to recreate
Therefore surly name of MUHAMMAD Sallel La Hu Alahi Wa Sallam was needed to originate
Therefore the very first thing what was said by ALLAH was this KALIMAH
LA ILAHA ILLEL LA MUHAMMADUR RASUL ALLAH

The First Thing That Allah Created Was My Nur


We do not have the entire Musnad of `Abd al-Razzaq in our hands.
The 11 volumes presently published are not the entire work.

Below is a repost of some old material on the question.




[The original question was:]


I'm looking for this hadith: " Awwalu ma khalaqallahu nuri" (The first thing that Allah created was my nur) Then author of Kashful Khifa quotes Al-Mawahib and says it's in Musannaf Abdur Razzaq but the muhaqqiq of Mawahib says it's not there and this hadith is mawdu`. He also says that sheikh Abdullah Ghumari wrote a risalah saying it's mawdu` and Allamah Suyuti in Al-Hawi lil Fatawi says it's not established.



LIGHT OF THE FULL MOON
by GF Haddad
"Hadith of Jabir"

It is related that Jabir ibn `Abd Allah said to the Prophet : "O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, tell me of the first thing Allah created before all things." He said: "O Jabir, the first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet from His light, and that light remained (lit. "turned") in the midst of His Power for as long as He wished, and there was not, at that time, a Tablet or a Pen or a Paradise or a Fire or an angel or a heaven or an earth. And when Allah wished to create creation, he divided that Light into four parts and from the first made the Pen, from the second the Tablet, from the third the Throne, [and from the fourth everything else]."

The judgments on this narration vary greatly among the scholars. Their words are listed below under the alphabetical listing of their names.

`Abd al-Haqq al-Dihlawi (d. 1052) the Indian hadith scholar cites it as evidence in Madarij al-nubuwwa (in Persian, 2:2 of the Maktaba al-nuriyya edition in Sakhore) and says it is is sahih (sound and authentic).

`Abd al-Hayy al-Lucknawi (d. 1304) the Indian hadith scholar cites it in his al-Athar al-marfu`a fi al-akhbar al-mawdu`a (p. 33-34 of the Lahore edition) and says: "The primacy (awwaliyya) of the Muhammadan light (al-nur al-muhammadi) is established from the narration of `Abd al-Razzaq, as well as its definite priority over all created things."

`Abd al-Razzaq (d. 211) narrates it in his Musannaf according to Qastallani in al-Mawahib al-laduniyya (1:55) and Zarqani in his Sharh al-mawahib (1:56 of the Matba`a al-`amira edition in Cairo). There is no doubt as to the reliability of `Abd al-Razzaq as a narrator. Bukhari took 120 narrations from him, Muslim 400.

`Abidin (Ahmad al-Shami d. 1320), the son of the Hanafi scholar Ibn `Abidin, cites the hadith as evidence in his commentary on Ibn Hajar al-Haytami's poem al-Ni`mat al-kubra `ala al-`alamin. Nabahani cites it in his Jawahir al-bihar (3:354).

`Ajluni (Isma`il ibn Muhammad d. 1162) in his Kashf al-khafa' (1:265 of the Maktabat al-Ghazali edition in Beirut) narrates the hadith in its entirety from Qastallani in his Mawahib.

Alusi (al-Sayyid Mahmud) in his commentary of Qur'an entitled Ruh al-ma`ani (17:105 of the Beirut edition) said: "The Prophet's being a mercy to all is linked to the fact that he is the intermediary of the divine outpouring over all contingencies [i.e. all created things without exception], from the very beginnings (wasitat al-fayd al-ilahi `ala al-mumkinat `ala hasab al-qawabil), and that is why his light was the first of all things created, as stated in the report that "The first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet, O Jabir," and also cited is: "Allah is the Giver and I am the Distributor." [See al-Qasim #261.] The Sufis -- may Allah sanctify their secrets -- have more to say on that chapter." Alusi also cites the hadith of Jabir as evidence in another passage of Ruh al-ma`ani (8:71).

Bakri (Sayyid Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn `Abd Allah, d. 3rd c.) in his book al-Anwar fi mawlid al-nabi Muhammad `alayhi al-salat wa al-salam (p. 5 of the Najaf edition) cites the following hadith from `Ali: "Allah was and there was nothing with Him, and the first thing which He created was the light of His Beloved, before He created water, or the Throne, or the Footstool, or the Tablet, or the Pen, or Paradise, or the Fire, or the Veils and the Clouds, or Adam and Eve, by four thousand years."

Bayhaqi (d. 458) narrates it with a different wording in Dala'il al-nubuwwa according to Zarqani in his Sharh al-mawahib (1:56 of the Matba`a al-`amira in Cairo) and Diyarbakri in Tarikh al-khamis (1:20).

Diyarbakri (Husayn ibn Muhammad d. 966): He begins his 1,000-page history entitled Tarikh al-khamis fi ahwal anfasi nafis with the words: "Praise be to Allah Who created the Light of His Prophet before everything else," which is enough to disprove al-Ghumari's exaggerated claim that "anyone who reads it will be convinced that the hadith is a lie." Then Diyarbakri cites the hadith as evidence (1:19 of the Mu'assasat Sha`ban edition in Beirut).

Fasi (Muhammad ibn Ahmad d. 1052) cites it as evidence in Matali` al-masarrat (p. 210, 221 of the Matba`a al-taziyya edition) and says: "These narrations indicate his primacy (awwaliyya) and priority over all other creations, and also the fact that he is their cause (sabab)."

Ghumari (`Abd Allah) in his Irshad al-talib al-najib ila ma fi al-mawlid al-nabawi min al-akadhib (p. 9-12 of the Dar al-furqan edition), commenting on Suyuti's words (quoted below) whereby the hadith has no reliable chain: "This shows great laxity on the part of Suyuti, which I thought him to be above. First, the hadith is not present in `Abd al-Razzaq's Musannaf, nor in any of the books of hadith. Secondly : the hadith has no chain of transmission to begin with. Thirdly: he has not mentioned the rest of the hadith. It is mentioned in Diyarbakri's Tarikh, and anyone who reads it will be convinced that the hadith is a lie about the Messenger of Allah." This exaggerated conclusion is disproved by the fact that Diyarbarkri himself does not consider it a lie since he cites the hadith in the first words of his book.

Gilani (Shaykh `Abd al-Qadir, d. 561) in his book Sirr al-asrar fi ma yahtaju ilayh al-abrar (p. 12-14 of the Lahore edition) said: "Know that since Allah first created the soul of Muhammad from the light of His beauty, as He said: I created Muhammad from the light of My Face, and as the Prophet said: The first thing Allah created is my soul, and the first thing Allah created is the Pen, and the first thing Allah created is the intellect -- what is meant by all this is one and the same thing, and that is the haqiqa muhammadiyya. However, it was named a light because it is completely purified from darkness, as Allah said: There has come to you from Allah a Light and a manifest Book. It was also named an intellect because it is the cause for the transmission of knowledge, and the pen is its medium in the world of letters. The Muhammadan soul (al-ruh al-muhammadiyya) is therefore the quintessence of all created things and the first of them and their origin, as the Prophet said: I am from Allah and the believers are from me, and Allah created all souls from me in the spiritual world and He did so in the best form. It is the name of the totality of mankind in that primordial world, and after its creation by four thousand years, Allah created the Throne from the light of Muhammad himself , and from it the rest of creation." This book has now been translated by Shaykh Tosun Bayrak al-Jerrahi as The Secret of Secrets (Cambridge: Islamic Texts Society, 1994).

Halabi (`Ali ibn Burhan al-Din, d. 1044) cites it as evidence in his Sira (1:31 of the Maktaba Islamiyya edition in Beirut) and then states: "It provides evidence that he is the root of everything that exists (in creation) and Allah knows best."
