Bayhaqi 17703 — The beginning of creation

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْعَلَوِيُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ، أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ دُحَيْمٍ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْعَبْسِيُّ، أنبأ وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، عَنِ ⦗٥⦘ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا خَلَقَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ شَيْءٍ الْقَلَمُ، فقَالَ: " اكْتُبْ "، قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ وَمَا أَكْتُبُ؟، قَالَ: " اكْتُبِ الْقَدَرَ "، قَالَ: فَجَرَى بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِلَى قِيَامِ السَّاعَةِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ خَلَقَ النُّونَ فَدَحَا الْأَرْضَ عَلَيْهَا، فَارْتَفَعَ بُخَارُ الْمَاءِ فَفَتَقَ مِنْهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَاضْطَرَبَ النُّونُ فَمَادَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَأُثْبِتَتْ بِالْجِبَالِ، وَإِنَّ الْجِبَالَ لَتُفَجَّرُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The first of all things that Allah Almighty created was the Pen, and He said to it: Write. It said: O my Lord! What shall I write? Allah Almighty said: Write the decree (qadar). So it wrote everything that was to happen from that day until the Day of Resurrection. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Then Allah Almighty created the fish (Nun) and spread out the earth upon it. Thus vapour rose from the water, and from it the heavens were split apart. Then the fish moved, and the earth swayed and shook, so it was made firm and stable with the mountains; and for this reason the mountains boast over the earth until the Day of Resurrection.
