Imam -asws said to me...
Imam -asws said to me: \u2018 But, do you not know, O Ibn Kaysan, that Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Took a clay from the Paradise and a clay from the Fire. So He -azwj Blended the two together. Then He -azwj Removed this from this, and this from this.
Thus, what you see from those as being the ones of trustworthiness, and goodly mannerisms, and as good listeners, so it is from what has touched them from the clay of the Paradise, and they would be returning to what they had been Created from; and what you see from these as being of the ones with little trustworthiness, and evil mannerisms, and the meanness, so it is from what touched them from the clay of the Fire, and they would be returning to what they had been Created from\u2019.
