Hadith 84
۞
2. We were told by Ahmad bin Hasan al-Qattan, that he said: We were told by Hasan bin Ali bin Hussain al-Sukkari, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Zakariya al-Jawhari al-Ghulabi al-Basri, that he said: We were told by Ja’far ibn Muhammed bin ‘Umara, from his father, from Jabir bin Yazid al-Ju’fi, from Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari, that he said
The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, was asked: Where were you when Adam was in the Garden? He said: I was in his backbone, and I was descended to earth whilst in his backbone, and I rode the ship whilst in the backbone of Nuh, and I was thrown into the fire whilst in the backbone of Ibrahim. Never did two parents meet in fornication. Allah, Exalted and Glorious, did not cease but moving me from the good backbones into the pure, purified, wombs, a guided guide, until Allah took Prophethood into my oath, Islam as my covenant, clarified everything of my characteristic, established my mentioning in the Tawrat and the Injeel, ascended me to His Heaven and derived for me a name from His Names. My nation are the praisers , the One with the Throne is the Praised and I am Muhammed. This narration has been narrated in many ways of transmission.
حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان، قال: حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن الحسين السكري، قال: حدثنا محمد بن زكريا الجوهري الغلابي البصري، قال: حدثنا جعفر ابن محمد بن عمار [ة]، عن أبيه، عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي، عن جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري، قال
سئل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله أين كنت وآدم في الجنة قال: كنت في صلبه وهبط بي إلى الأرض في صلبه، وركبت السفينة في صلب أبي نوح، وقذف بي في النار في صلب إبراهيم، لم يلتق لي أبوان على سفاح قط، لم يزل الله عز وجل ينقلني من الأصلاب الطيبة إلى الأرحام الطاهرة [المطهرة] هاديا مهديا، حتى أخذ الله بالنبوة عهدي، وبالإسلام ميثاقي، وبين كل شئ من صفتي، وأثبت في التوراة والإنجيل ذكري، ورقى بي إلى سمائه ، وشق لي اسما من أسمائه، أمتي الحامدون وذو العرش محمود وأنا محمد. وقد روي هذا الحديث من طرق كثيرة.
