فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مَا قَالُوا شَيْئاً...

I -asws hereby inform you that Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted Existed and there was nothing other than Him -azwj , and He -azwj was Mighty and there was no one who was mighty before Him -azwj , and these are is His -azwj Words: Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] , and He -azwj was the Creator before the creation, and Had He -azwj Created something from His -azwj Creation, something from something, then there would be no termination from it (the chain) ever, and it would never cease if Allah -azwj had something with Him -azwj and He -azwj did not precede it.

So He -azwj Lineaged everything to the water and did not Make a lineage for the water to which it can be ascribed. And He -azwj Created the wind from the water, then Made the wind to overcome the water. So, the wind sent down into the body of the water until foam swirled from the water in accordance with what He -azwj so Desired it to swirl. So He -azwj Created from that foam, pure white land with no crack in it, nor any holes, neither ascending nor descending, and no tree.

Then He -azwj Folded it, so He -azwj Placed it on top of the water.
