1. [1/1] Usul al-Kafi: From a number of our companions among them Muhammad b. Yahya al-Attar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hasan b. Mahbub from al-Ala b. Razin from Muhammad b. Muslim from Abi Ja’far عليه السلام who said: When Allāh created the intellect He gave it the power to speak, then He said to it: draw near, so it drew near, then He said to it: turn back, so it turned back, then He said: by my Power and Majesty I have not created a creature more beloved to me than you, and I have not perfected you except in the one I love, as for me you do I command, and you do I prohibit, and you do I punish and you do I reward.
IsnādUsul al-Kafi: De plusieurs de nos compagnons, dont Muhammad ibn Yahya al-'Attar, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad, de al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, de al-'Ala' ibn Ruzayn, de Muhammad ibn Muslim, d'Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit:
Quand Dieu créa l'intellect, Il lui parla, puis lui dit : "Avance", et il avança. Puis Il lui dit : "Recule", et il recula. Ensuite Il dit : "Par Ma puissance et Ma majesté, Je n'ai créé aucune création qui Me soit plus chère que toi, ni qui soit plus parfaite que toi, sauf celui que J'aime. Je t'ordonne, te défends, te récompense et te punis."
