4-30 Abul-Hassan Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Ali ibn Abdullah al-Basry in Ilaq narrated that the preacher Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Jabalat quoted Abul Qasim Abdullah ibn Amer al-Ta’ee, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (MGB), on the authority of Musa ibn Ja’far (MGB), on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad (MGB), on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ali (MGB), on the authority of Ali ibn al-Hussein (MGB), on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Ali (MGB), “Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB) was in the Jamea Mosque in Kufa. A man from Syria stood up and said, “
O Commander of the Faithful! I have several questions.” The Imam (MGB) said, “Ask in order to understand. Do not ask in order to bother us.” One of the questions that he asked was as follows: “Who was the first poet? The Imam (MGB) answered, “It was Adam.” The man asked, “What was the poem about?” The Imam (MGB) said, ‘When Adam was cast down to the Earth, he saw the extent of the Earth and its atmosphere. When Cain killed Abel, then Adam recited: The land and its residents have changed vastly; The looks of the Earth have turned black and ugly; Whatever had a taste and color has changed; And the freshness of that good looks has diminished. Then Satan - may God damn him - replied: Get away from this land and everyone who on it resides as there is no more room for you anymore in this expanded Paradise. You and your spouse were living in peace and from the troubles of the world was your heart at comfort. But you could not escape my tricks and plots until you lost that valuable thing and God gave the people tamarisk and bitter khamt instead of Paradise and its open gates, and had I not received the Mercy of the Omnipotent, you would not have lost Paradise now.”
