12-56 Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman Ibn Abdullah ibn al-Hussein ibn Ibrahim ibn Yahya ibn Ajlan al-Marvazy al-Muqar’ri narrated that Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Gorjany quoted Abu Bakr Abdul Samad ibn Yahya al-Vaseti, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Madani, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mubarak, on the authority of Sufyan al-Sowri, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his grandfather (MGB), on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB), “The Blessed the Sublime God created the light of Muhammad 124,000 years before creating the Heavens, the Earths, the Threshold, the Throne, the Tablet, the Pen, the Heaven, the Hell. He also did the same before creating Adam (MGB), Ishmael (MGB), Issaq (MGB), Moses (MGB), Jesus (MGB), David (MGB), Solomon (MGB) and the other Prophets whom the Honorable the Exalted God mentions in, ‘We gave him Isaac and Jacob: all (three) guided: and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron: - thus do We reward those who do good: - and Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous: and Ishmael and Elisha, and Jonah, and Lot: and to all We gave favor above the nations: (to them) and to their fathers, and progeny and brethren: We chose them, and we guided them to a straight way.’The Honorable the Exalted God created twelve veils with him (Muhammad (MGB)): the veils of power, grandeur, kindness, mercy, bliss, munificence, high station, guidance, Prophecy, eminence, awe, and the veil of intercession. Thereafter the Prophet’s light remained wrapped in the veil of power for twelve-thousand years saying, ‘Subhana rabi al-A’la’ (Glory be to my Lord, the Lofty); for eleven-thousand years it remained within the veilof grandeur saying ‘Subhana alam al-sir’ (Glory be to the Knower of the Secrets); for ten-thousand years it remained within the veil kindness saying ‘Subhana man howa qa’im la yalhu’ (Glory be to Him who is Perpetual, Who never plays); for nine-thousand years it remained within the veil of mercy saying ‘Subhan al-Rafi al-A’la’ Glory be to the Elevated, the High); for eight-thousand years it remained within the veil of bliss saying ‘Subhana man howa qa’im la yashu’ (Glory be to the Perpetual, Who never errs); for seven-thousand years it remained within the veil of munificence saying ‘Subhan man howa qina la yaftaqir’(Glory be to Him who is rich, who never grows indigent); for six-thousand years it remained within the veil of high station saying ‘Subhan rabi al-A’la al-kareem’(Glory to my Lord- the High the Noble); for five-thousand years it remained within the veil of guidance saying ‘Subhan rabel arsh el-azeem’ (Glory to the Lord of the Great Throne); for four-thousand years it remained within the veil of prophecy saying ‘Subhan rabel ezat am’ma yasifun’ (Glory be to the Lord of Honor, above all else attributed to Him); for three-thousand years it remained within the veil of eminence saying ‘Subhan zil-Mulk val-Malakut’ (Glory to the Lord over the heavenly and Earthly Kingdoms); for two-thousand years it remained within the veil of awe saying ‘Subhan allah va behamdeh’ (Glory to God and Praise be to Him); for one-thousand years it remained within the veil of intercession saying ‘Subhana rabial azeem va behamdeh (Glory to my Lord, the Sublime and Praise be to Him).’Then the Honorable the Exalted God made his name appear on the Tablet as a bright light for four-thousand years. Then He made it appear on the Throne for seven-thousand years until the Honorable the Exalted God placed it in the loins of Adam (MGB). Then He transferred it from there to the loins of Noah. Then He transferred it from one loin to another one until it was placed in the loins of Abdullah ibn Abdul Mutalib. God honored Muhammad with six nobilities: the attire of contentment; the cloak of being awesome, the crown of guidance, the garment of recognition, the bonds of kindness, the shoes of fear, and the cane of high rank. Then the Honorable the Exalted God told him to say, “O Muhammad! Go to the people and tell them to declare ‘There is no god but God and Muhammad is God’s Prophet.’The material used in the attire (of contentment) consisted of the following six: its body was made of ruby; its two shirt arms were made of pearls; its gussets were made of yellow crystals, its underarms were made of chrysolite, its neck was made of red coral, its collar was made of the Light of the Lord - may His Majesty be Exalted. God accepted the repentance of Adam because of this attire and gave back Solomon’s ring to him, returned Joseph to Jacob (MGB), rescued Jonah (MGB) from the stomach of the whale and saved other Prophets (MGB) from hardship due to the blessings of this attire that was the attire of Muhammad (MGB).”The compiler of this book said, “The souls of all the believers and the Divine Leaders (MGB) have been created from the light of Muhammad (MGB).”
