Chapter 3 | The First Thing of Lands that Allah Created Was the Site of the House and How Was What He First Created
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْعِجْلِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَيَّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ مَوْضِعُ الْبَيْتِ حَيْثُ كَانَ الْمَاءُ فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْماءِ قَالَ كَانَ مَهَاةً بَيْضَاءَ يَعْنِي دُرَّةً.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Muhammad ibn ‘Imran al-‘Ijliy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah , ’How was the site of the House when there was water? Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, “His Throne was on the water. . . (11:9) He (the Imam) replied, ‘It was Mahat, a white diamond.’”
