Noor/light

So, for example, in explaining the meaning of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) words: “Do not over-extol me in the same way that Christians extol their Prophet…” (Bukhari #3189) meaning, do not attribute Divinity to me

1) It is related that Jabir ibn Abdullah asked the Prophet (ﷺ):“O Messenger of Allah! Please tell me of the first thing Allah created before all others?” and that he (ﷺ) replied: “O Jabir, verily Allah Most Exalted created – before all else – the light of your Prophet from His Light. That light remained (“turned”) in the midst of His Power for as long as He wished, and at that time there was not a Tablet or Pen or Paradise or Fire or angel or heaven or 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 made the Tablet, from the third the Throne, (and from the fourth all else)…” Recorded by the reliable Imam and Hafiz Abdur-Razzaq San’ani (one of the Shaykhs of Bukhari and Muslim) in his Musannaf (one of the earliest collections of hadith). For a lengthy discussion on this hadith, see Imam ‘Ajluni’s Kashf al-Khafa’ (hadith #827).

Hafiz Suyuti (Hawi lil-Fatawi 1:325) states that it has no reliable chain.Note: This hadith

is not found in the current edition of the Musannaf of Abdur-Razzaq, which is only a partial collection since a number of its hadiths are lost.However, we have an indication that it might have been originally in there because Imam Qastallani (one of the commentators on Sahih Bukhari) narrates it in his Mawahib Laduniyya (1:55-56) and attributes it to Abdur-Razzaq from Jabir, and similarly Hafiz az-Zurqani (one of the commentators on the Muwatta’ of Imam Malik) in his commentary on the Mawahib states the same.‘Ajluni in Kashf al-Khafa’ (1:265) also narrates the hadith in its entirety from Imam Qastallani. The hadith scholars consider it forged because its chain cannot be found anywhere, and because its  wording is flimsy and uncharacteristic of the Prophetic manner of expression.However, the scholars consider the meaning of this hadith (specifically, the first sentence) authentic and sound, and it is supported by Qur’an (5:15) and other Sahih hadiths.

Mahmud al-Alusi in his Tafsir Ruh al-Ma’ani (8:71) cites the hadith of Jabir from Abdur-Razzaq, and in another passage (17:105) he writes:“The Prophet’s (ﷺ) being a mercy to all is linked to the fact that he is the intermediary of the Divine outpouring over all created things, as stated in the report that, The first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet, O Jabir… and, Allah is the Giver and I am the distributor (Bukhari).”

the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas in which he states that light would appear to come out between his teeth when he (ﷺ) would speak.Recorded by Tirmidhi in his Shama’il (#14), Darimi (1:44 #58 Da’if), Diya’ (Mukhtara, 13:48), Bayhaqi in Dala’il an-Nubuwwa (1:215), and Tabarani in his Mu’jam al-Kabir (11:416 #12181) and Mu’jam al-Awsat (#767).

And Anas stated: “On the day in which the Messenger of Allah entered Madina, everything in it became lit, and on the day in which he passed away, everything became darkened.” Recorded by Tirmidhi (#3551), Ibn Majah (#1621), Darimi (#88), Imam Ahmad (3:268),

One of the famous supplications which he (ﷺ) used to recite before Fajr was, “and increase my light, and make me light” (Sahih Muslim 1:525), which Allah Most High no doubt answered.

‘Irbad ibn Sariya related that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I was the Seal of the Prophets in the Presence of Allah when Adam (asws) was between water and clay…and when I was born my mother saw a light with which she could behold the palaces of Syria…”Recorded by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad (4:184 #16525, 16537, 5:262 #21231), Hakim in his Mustadrak (2:418, 600, 616-617 Sahih),

Abu Hurayra related that he was asked, “O Messenger of Allah! When was prophet-hood bestowed upon you?” He replied, “While Adam (AS) was still between spirit and body.” Recorded by Tirmidhi in his Sunan (#3542), Hakim (2:609),

Maysara al-Fajr also relates a similar hadith to the one above, in which he asked the Messenger (ﷺ), “When were you a Prophet?” and he replies, “While Adam was between spirit and body.” Recorded by Imam Bukhari in his Tarikh al-Kabir (7:374 #1606)

Anas ibn Malik said: “Two men left the Prophet’s ﷺ house in a very dark night and all of a sudden there appeared a light before them. As they separated and went their separate ways, so did the light separate with each of them.” Recorded by Imam Bukhari in his Sahih (#445, 3367, 3521), Imam Ahmad (#11955, 12511, 13367)

Abu Hurayra related that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I was the first Prophet to be created and the last to be sent,” and in another narration, “the first person to be created.” Recorded by Ibn Abi Shayba (Musannaf, 8:131), Abu Nu’aym in his Dala’il an-Nubuwwa (p. 6),

Ibn ‘Abbas said that, “The spirit of the Prophet (ﷺ) was a light in front of Allah 2000 years before He created Adam. That light glorified Him and the angels glorified by his glorification. When Allah created Adam (AS), He cast that light into his loins.” Qadi ‘Iyad narrates it in his Shifa’ (1:59),

And he (ﷺ) said, “Allah created His creation in darkness, then He cast upon it from His light.” Recorded from Ibn ‘Amr by Tirmidhi (#2566), Hakim (1:30-31), Bayhaqi (9:3-4),

Imam Tirmidhi recorded (#3158-59) an authentic hadith on the authority of Mu’adh ibn Jabal, wherein the Prophet ﷺ said: “My Lord came to me in the best image,” and in other narrations, “I saw my Lord in the best image, and He asked me what the angels of the highest assembly argued over. I said I did not know, so He put His ‘Hand’ between my shoulders, and I felt its coolness in my innermost, and the knowledge of all things between East and West came to me…” Also recorded by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad (#16026, #21093, #22126), Darimi in his Sunan (2:170 #2056), Tabarani in his Mu’jam Kabir (1:317 #938; 8:290 #8117; and also 20:109, 141), Abu Ya’la in his Musnad (4:475 #2608),

From Thawban: the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The earth was collected together for me so that I was shown its Easts and Wests, and the kingdom of my community will reach to the extent that it was brought together for me…”  Recorded by Muslim (Kitab al-Fitan, #5144)

When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
