Hadith 885
۞
10. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Ibrahim b. Abdul-Hameed from Abi al-Hassan a Sheikh from our companions from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said
“The Almighty Allah has created a giant white cock whose head is near the Divine throne and legs extending to the depth of seven layers of earth. One of its wings covers the entire east and another, the entire west, when open. No cock crows unless this cock does. When this cock wants to crow, it moves its wings and murmurs: Sub-h’aanallaahi Sub-h’aanallahil A’z’eemilladhee laisa kamithlihi shai. The Almighty Allah replies: A person who swears falsely by Me has no faith on Me in accordance with your saying.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِیدِ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ شَیْخٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ دِیکاً أَبْیَضَ عُنُقُهُ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ وَ رِجْلَاهُ فِی تُخُومِ السَّابِعَهِ لَهُ جَنَاحٌ بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَ جَنَاحٌ بِالْمَغْرِبِ لَا تَصِیحُ الدِّیَکَهُ حَتَّی یَصِیحَ فَإِذَا صَاحَ خَفَقَ بِجَنَاحَیْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِیمِ الَّذِی لَیْسَ یُحْلَفُ بِاسْمِهِ کَاذِباً.
