Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1845 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When Allah
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زَنْجُوَيْهِ الْقَطَّانُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارِ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ قَالَ : نَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَاضِي حَلَبَ ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عِيسَى الرَّقَاشِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ . عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْعَقْلَ قَالَ لَهُ : قُمْ ، فَقَامَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ : أَدْبِرْ ، فَأَدْبَرَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ : اقْعُدْ ، فَقَعَدَ ، فَقَالَ : وَعِزَّتِي ، مَا خَلَقْتُ خَيْرًا مِنْكَ ، وَلَا أَكْرَمَ مِنْكَ ، وَلَا أَفْضَلَ مِنْكَ ، وَلَا أَحْسَنَ ، بِكَ آخُذُ ، وَبِكَ أُعْطِي ، وَبِكَ أَعْرِفُ ، وَبِكَ أُعَاقِبُ ، وَبِكَ الثَّوَابُ ، وَعَلَيْكَ الْعِقَابُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, created the intellect, He said to it: 'Stand up,' and it stood up. Then He said to it: 'Turn back,' and it turned back. Then He said to it: 'Sit down,' and it sat down. Then Allah Almighty said: 'By My Might, I have not created anything better than you, more honoured than you, more excellent than you or more beautiful. Through you I take (to account), through you I give, through you I am known, through you I punish; for you is the reward and upon you is the punishment.'"
