أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِشْكَابٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ مَعْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَاقَتِي مَعْقُولَةٌ بِالْبَابِ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَفَرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جِئْنَاكَ لِنَتَفَقَّهَ فِي الدِّينِ وَنَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ أَوَّلِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مَا كَانَ؟ قَالَ ﷺ «كَانَ اللَّهُ وَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ غَيْرَهُ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ كَتَبَ فِي الذِّكْرِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ»

✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and my she-camel was hobbled at the door when a group from Banū Tamīm entered upon him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, we have come to you to gain understanding in the religion and to ask you about the beginning of this matter: what was it?” He ﷺ said, “Allah existed and there was nothing other than Him, and His Throne was upon the water, then He wrote in the Remembrance everything, then He created the heavens and the earth.”
