you have come to me to inform me of a people of whom I am knowledgeable since they were created and born.'”
The Second Verse: [“The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.”] 1
It has been reported in the book Uyun al-Mu'jizat and others, the mention of the glorification (tasbih) and the declaration of God's oneness (tahlil) of inanimate matter (al-jamad) in the hand of our master the Commander of the Faithful.
[77] And in the book Mashariq al-Anwar, what was narrated by Ubayd al-Saksaki from Abu Abdullah—Exalted is His might—that Ali—Exalted is His might—when he returned from Siffin, stood on the bank of the Euphrates, brought out a green rod, and struck the Euphrates with it while the people were looking at him. Twelve springs gushed forth from it, each part being like a great, towering mountain. Then he spoke words they did not understand.
