Ahmad b. Idris has narrated from Al-Husayn b. ‘Abdallah al-Saghir from Muhammad b. Ibrahim al-Ja‘fari from Ahmad b. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abdallah ibn ‘Umar ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib (AS) from Abu ‘Abdallah (AS) who has said the following: “Allah existed when there was no other “being”. He created the “being” and the place and created the light of lights from which all lights lit up. He made to flow to it (light of lights) from His own light which lit up all lights.

It was the light from Muhammad and Ali were created. They both continued to be the first two lights; nothing had come into being before them. They continued to flow pure and clean through the clean generations until they separated in two clean persons; ‘Abdallah and Abu Talib (AS).” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (5/190))
