Azami 8191

Bukhari related it in Tawhid (7418) from Abdan, who said, Abu Hamza informed us, from Amash, from Jami bin Shaddad, from Safwan bin Mihraz, from Imran bin Husayn, and he mentioned it. He also related it in Badul-Khalq (3191) through the narration of Hafs bin Ghiyath, from Amash with the same chain, and in it, "and there was nothing besides Him." He also related it in Badul-Khalq (3190) through the narration of Sufyan Thawri, from Jami bin Shaddad with the same chain, in abbreviated form, adding after the words "gave us glad tidings, so give us something," the phrase "then his face changed." Abu Hamza is Muhammad bin Maymun Sukkari.Nasai related it in Kubra, in Tafsir (1176), through the narration of Khalid bin Harith, from Ibn Mahdi, from Jami bin Shaddad with the same chain, in abbreviated form, and in it, "then He created seven heavens." Tabarani related it in Mujam al-Kabir (18/204) through the narration of Abu Bakr bin Abu Shayba, from Muhammad bin Ubayd, from Amash with the same chain, and in it, "Some people from Banu Tamim came to him, and he said, 'Accept the glad tidings.' They said, 'We have accepted, now give us something.' So he turned away from them. Then some people from Yemen came to him, and he said, 'Accept the glad tidings, and do not say as Banu Tamim said.'"The wording became altered in Sahih Ibn Hibban (6140), where it says, "A group from Banu Tamim came to him and said, 'Messenger of Allah, we have come to you to gain understanding of the religion.'" He related it through the route of Muhammad bin Abu Ubayda bin Maen, who said, my father narrated to us, from Amash with the same chain.This hadith contains evidence that there was nothing else besides Him , not the water, not the Throne, not the Pen, nor anything else, and that Allah then created the Throne and the water, then created the Pen and said to it, "Write what is to come into being," then created the heavens and the earth and what is in them, as occurred in the account of Nafi bin Zayd Himyari. It thus establishes the order of creation after the water and the Throne.Ibn Hajar cited this hadith in Isabah, in the entry on Nafi bin Zayd (8991), and said, Ibn Shahin recorded, through the route of Zakariya bin Himyari, that Nafi bin Zayd Himyari came as a delegate to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among a group from Himyar, and they said, "We have come to you to gain understanding of the religion, and to ask you about the origin of this matter." He said, "Allah existed and there was nothing besides Him, and His Throne was upon the water, then He created the Pen and said, 'Write what is to come into being,' then He created the heavens and the earth and what is in them, and He established Himself upon His Throne."Ibn Hajar then said, It contains several unknown narrators.
