حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ وَكِيعِ بْنِ حُدُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، قَالَ:
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُسْأَلَ، فَإِذَا سَأَلَهُ أَبُو رَزِينٍ أَعْجَبَهُ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيْنَ كَانَ رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ فِي عَمَاءٍ، مَا فَوْقَهُ هَوَاءٌ وَمَا تَحْتَهُ هَوَاءٌ، ثُمَّ خَلَقَ الْعَرْشَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ disliked being asked, but when Abu Razin asked him, he was pleased. He said: I said: 'O Messenger of God, where was our Lord, Mighty and Majestic, before He created the heavens and the earth?' He said: 'He was in a cloud, above which was no air and below which was no air. Then He created the Throne upon the water.'
