"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: كَانَتْ الأَرْضُ مَاءً فَبَعَثَ الله ريحًا فَمَسَحَتِ الْمَاءَ فَظَهرَتْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ زَبَدَةٌ فَقَسَمَها أَرْبَعَ قِطَعٍ: خَلَقَ مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ مَكَّةَ، والثَّانِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةَ، والثَّالِثَةِ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ، والرَّابِعَةِ الكُوفَةَ".

"On the authority of 'Ali, who said: The earth was water, so Allah sent a wind that wiped away the water, and foam appeared upon the earth. He divided it into four pieces: He created Makkah from one piece, Madinah from the second, Bayt al-Maqdis from the third, and Kufah from the fourth."
