عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَتَبَ اللَّهُ مقادير الْخَلَائق قبل أَن يخلق السَّمَوَات وَالْأَرْضَ بِخَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ» قَالَ: «وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ على المَاء»
Abdallah ibn Amr reported God’s messenger as saying, “God recorded the fates of all creatures 50,000 years before creating the heavens and the earth, and His throne was upon the water.”
