11. Ali has narrated from his father from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from a Shaykh of our people called abu al-Hassan who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that Allah, most Blessed, most High, has created a white rooster whose neck is under the throne and its legs in the center of the seventh earth, its one wing is in the east and one wing in the west. Other roosters do not crow until it crows. When it wants to crow it flaps its wings and says, ‘Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) and is the most great like whom there is no one.’” He (the Imam) said that ‘Allah, most Blessed, most High, in response says, “A lying person would never swear falsely by My name would he but know about what you say.’””
Isnād‘Alī, de son père, et Muḥammad ibn Ismā‘īl, de al-Faḍl ibn Shādhān, tous ensemble, d’Ibn Abī ‘Umayr, d’Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Abd al-Ḥamīd, d’un des anciens parmi nos compagnons surnommé Abū al-Ḥasan, d’Abū Ja‘far (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit :
Certes, Allah, exalté et glorifié soit-Il, a créé un coq blanc, son cou sous le Trône et ses pattes aux confins de la septième terre. Il a une aile à l’est et une aile à l’ouest. Les coqs ne chantent pas jusqu’à ce qu’il chante. Quand il chante, il bat des ailes, puis il dit : Gloire à Allah, gloire à Allah l’Immense, Il n’a pas de semblable. Allah, exalté et glorifié soit-Il, lui répond alors en disant : Ne jure pas par Moi mensongèrement, celui qui sait ce que tu dis.
