3ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي خَلَقْتُكَ وَعَلِيّاً نُوراً يَعْنِي رُوحاً بِلا بَدَنٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْلُقَ سَمَاوَاتِي وَأَرْضِي وَعَرْشِي وَبَحْرِي فَلَمْ تَزَلْ تُهَلِّلُنِي وَتُمَجِّدُنِي ثُمَّ جَمَعْتُ رُوحَيْكُمَا فَجَعَلْتُهُمَا وَاحِدَةً فَكَانَتْ تُمَجِّدُنِي وَتُقَدِّسُنِي وَتُهَلِّلُنِي ثُمَّ قَسَمْتُهَا ثِنْتَيْنِ وَقَسَمْتُ الثِّنْتَيْنِ ثِنْتَيْنِ فَصَارَتْ أَرْبَعَةً مُحَمَّدٌ وَاحِدٌ وَعَلِيٌّ وَاحِدٌ وَالْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ ثِنْتَانِ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ الله فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ نُورٍ ابْتَدَأَهَا رُوحاً بِلا بَدَنٍ ثُمَّ مَسَحَنَا بِيَمِينِهِ فَأَفْضَى نُورَهُ فِينَا.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
3. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Al-Husayn ibn ‘Abdallah from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa and Muhammad ibn ‘Abdallah from Ali ibn Hadid from Murazim from Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has said, ‘O Muhammad I have created you and Ali a light, a spirit, without body before I created My heavens, My earth, My Throne, and My ocean. You continued to acknowledge Me as your Lord and speak of My glory. I then collected the spirits of both of you and made it one spirit. This spirit continued to speak of My Glory, My Holiness and acknowledge Me as the Lord. I then divided it into two and two which became four: one Muhammad, one Ali, Al-Hassan and Al-Husayn, the other two. Then Allah created Fatima عليها السلام from the spirit that was created first without a body. He then wiped us with his right hand to allow his light to reach us all.
