Hadith 686
۞
By this isnad from al-Hasan b. Mahbub from al-`Ala' b. Ruzayn from Muhammad b. Muslim from Abi Ja`far al-Baqir (as). He said
When Allah created the intellect, He interrogated it. Then, He said to it: Come forth. So, it came forth. Then, He said to it: Go back. So, it went back. Then, He said to it: By My glory and My majesty! I have not created a thing that is more beloved to Me than you. I do not perfect you except in those whom I love. Surely, by you I command, by you I prohibit, by you I punish, and by you I reward.
5 - وبهذا الاسناد، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن العلاء بن رزين، عن محمد بن مسلم، عن أبي جعفر الباقر (عليه السلام)، قال
لما خلق الله عز وجل العقل استنطقه، ثم قال له: أقبل، فأقبل، ثم قال له: أدبر، فأدبر، ثم قال له: وعزتي وجلالي ما خلقت خلقا هو أحب إلي منك، ولا أكملك إلا فيمن أحب، أما إني إياك آمر، وإياك أنهى، وإياك أعاقب، وإياك أثيب (1).
