Beautiful Hadith

[Noori]

Sayyiduna Imam Abdur Razzaq Radi Allah Anhu [teacher of Imam Bukhari] in his Musannaf narrates a hadith from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Radi Allah Anhu in which Sayyiduna RasoolAllah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stated,

 

[Ya Jabir] O Jabir! Most certainly Allah Azzowajal created the nur [light] of your Nabi before anything else. Then, when He decided to create the world, He divided the nur of your Nabi into four portions. From the first portion, He created the Qalam of destiny, from the second, the Lauh Mahfooz, from the third , the Divine portions. From the first portion, He created those Angels who are the bearers of the Arsh, from the second, the Divine Chair and from the third, the rest of the Angels.
