with glad tidings.” They said, “You have given us glad tidings, now give us something.” On hearing

good tidings, O people of Yemem, for Bani Tamim refused them.” They said, “We accept it, O Allah’s
Apostle! We have come to ask you about this matter (i.e. the start of creations).” He said, “First of all,
there was nothing but Allah, and (then He created His Throne). His throne was over the water, and
He wrote everything in the Book (in the Heaven) and created the Heavens and the Earth.” Then a
man shouted, “O Ibn Husain! Your she-camel has gone away!” So, I went away and could not see the
she-camel because of the mirage. By Allah, I wished I had left that she-camel (but not that gather –
