Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38669 — the first to do a thing, and who did

Al-Walid bin Ubadah narrated that he visited his father when he was ill, and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The first thing Allah Almighty created was the Pen. Then He said to it: 'Run.' So at that very hour the Pen ran and wrote down all that was to come to pass."
