Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn 'Isma'il ibn Bazi' from Salih ibn 'Uqba from 'Abdallah ibn Muhammad al-Ja'fari from abu Ja'far (a.s.) and
'Uqba from abu Ja'far (a.s.) who has said the following.
"Allah created the creatures. He created whatever He loved from whatever He loved. The most beloved to Him He created from the clay of paradise. He created whatever He disliked from
whatever He disliked. Thus, the most disliked to Him He created from the clay of fire. Then He sent them to the shadow." I asked him, "What is the shadow?"
The Imam (a.s.) said, "Have you not seen your own shadow in the sun that when look at it is nothing. Allah then sent to them the prophets who called them to acknowledge Allah as the
creator. This is the meaning of His words. "(Muhammad), if you ask them, "Who had created them (idols)?" They will certainly say, "God has created them.. . ."? (43:87) Then He called them to
acknowledge the prophets.
Some of them acknowledged and other did not acknowledge. Then He called them to acknowledge our Wilaya. Those whom He loved, by Allah, acknowledged and those whom He disliked did not
acknowledge as He has said, "However, how could the people believe what they had previously called lies?. . ." (10:74) Abu Ja'far (a.s.) then said, "Refusal to acknowledge was then and
there."

paradise.

Shi'a to make a covenant to acknowledge our Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority) when they were small particles. It was the day when He made all particles to make a covenant to acknowledge
Him as the Lord and Muhammad (s.a) as the Prophet.
Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious, presented to Muhammad his 'Umma (followers) in clay and they were shadows. He created them from the clay out of which Adam was created. Allah
created the spirits of our Shi'a two thousand years before their bodies were created. He presented them to the Holy Prophet (s.a) and the Messenger of Allah recognized them. Ali (a.s.) recognized
and we recognize them by their accent."
