سعد، عن النهدي، عن محمد بن خالد البرقي، عن خلف بن حماد عن أبان بن تغلب قال: قال أبو عبداللّه عليه السلام: الحجّة قبل الخلق ومع الخلق وبعد الخلق.
Saʿd, from al-Nahdī, from Muḥammad b. Khālid al-Barqī, from Khalaf b. Ḥammād from Abān b. Taghlib, who narrated: “Abū ʿAbd Allāh عليه السلام said: “The Divine authority is before the creation, with the creation and after the creation.”[1]
[1] The implication of this report corroborates the reports in chapter 2 of the main section of this book, but extending it to all of creation, even before that of the Earth.
