4. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Khalid from abu Nahshal who has said that Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il narrated to me from abu Hamza al-Thumali who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.) say, “Allah has created us from A‘la ‘Illiyin (above the high above). He has created the hearts of our Shi‘a from what He has created us, and He has created their bodies from below that, thus, their hearts incline towards us because they are created from what we are created. Then he recited this verse, “However, the records of the deeds of the virtuous ones will certainly be in ‘Illiyin. And what would make you know what ‘Illiyun is? It is a comprehensively written Book (of records). The ones nearest to God will bring it to public.” (83:18-21) <br>Our enemies are created from Sijjin and the hearts of their followers are created from what they are created, and their bodies are created from below that, thus, their hearts incline to them because they are created from what they are created. Then he recited this verse, “Let them know that the records of the sinner’s deeds are in Sijjin. And what would make you know what Sijjin is? It is a comprehensively written Book (of records).” (83:7-9).”
