2. [2/339] al-Kafi: Muhammad b. Yahya from Sa’d b. Abdallah from Muhammad b. Isa from Ayyub b. Nuh that he wrote to Abi al-Hasan عليه السلام asking him about Allah Mighty and Majestic: Did He have knowledge of things before He created the things and brought them into existence or is it that He did not have prior knowledge of them until when He created them and intended their creation and bringing them into existence - so He knew about what He created at the moment of creation and what He brought into existence at the moment of bringing into existence? He wrote in his handwriting: Allah never stopped being knowledgeable about the things before he created the things the same as His knowledge of the things after He had created the things.

- Arabic and English texts preserved verbatim from pinned snapshot. Compiler introduction excluded where present; references mapped to fields; assessment whitespace trimmed; source-supplied English sanad retained separately. Search normalization is not applied to displayed text.
- verification Note
- Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
