1.Hamzah ibn Muhammad al-`Alawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: `Ali ibn Ibrhaim ibn Hashim reported to us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of `Umar ibn Udhaynah, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Muslim that I asked Abu Ja`far al-Baqir about the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High: And breathed into him of My Spirit. He replied,

“Allah created, chose, selected, and related the Spirit to Himself, favoring it over all the spirits. Thus, He commanded and breathed from it into Adam.”
