[Machine] I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he mentioned a hadith in which he said: They came to ask you about this matter. He said: Allah existed and nothing else existed. His throne was upon the water, and He wrote in the Zabur (the Book) everything, and He created the heavens and the earth.
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فِيهِ قَالُوا جِئْنَاكَ نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ قَالَ كَانَ اللهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ غَيْرَهُ وَعَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَكَتَبَ فِي الذِّكْرِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَخَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ
