1. We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, Muhammed bin Ali bin Shah in Marw al-Rudh, that he said: We were told by Abu Bakr, Muhammed ibn Ja’far bin Ahmad al-Baghdadi in Amida, that he said: We were told by my father, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Sukht, that he said: We were informed by Muhammed bin Aswad al-Warraq, from Ayoub bin Sulayman, from Abu’l-Bukhturi, from Muhammed bin Hameed, from Muhammed bin Munkadir, from Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari, that he said:

The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: I am the most resembling, among the people, to Adam, and Ibrahim is the most resembling, among the people, to me, in creation and mannerism. Allah named me, from above His Throne, with ten names, and Allah clarified my characteristic and gave glad tidings of me on the tongue of every Messenger He sent to his people, and He named me and spread my name in the Tawrat , and He disseminated my mentioning among the people of the Tawrat and Injeel . He taught me His Words, raised me in His Heaven and derived to me a name from His Names, and so He named me Muhammed [1], and He is Mahmud [2]. He brought me out in the best of centuries from my nation, and He made my name in the Tawrat to be Ahyad, and hence, with (belief in) Monotheism He forbade the bodies of my nation for the Fire. He named me in the Injeel as Ahmad [3], and hence, I am praised among the people of Heaven, and He made my nation the praisers. He made my name in the Zabur to be Maah’; Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, erased by me the worshipping of idols on earth. He made my name in the Qur’an to be Muhammed, and hence, I am praised among all the people of Resurrection with regards to settling the judgement, none will intercede but me. He named me for the Resurrection a Gatherer to whom people are gathered before my feet. He named me the Position, to whom He, Glorified be His Glory, made the people stand. He named me the Following, as I am the following in order of the Prophets, there is no Messenger after me. He made me the Messenger of Mercy, the Messenger of Returning [4], the Messenger of Epics, and the Traced, as I made the Prophets trace me in congregation [5], and I am the Precious, the Complete, the Collector. My Lord bestowed upon me a favor and said to me: O Muhammed, may Allah’s blessings be upon you, verily, I have sent every Messenger to his nation (to address them) by their tongue, and I sent you to every red and black of my creation, and I assisted you with the horror which I have not assisted anyone with, and I allowed for you the booty, and it was not allowed for anyone before you, and I gave to you and to your nation a treasure from the Treasures of My Throne, the Opening of the Book and the Seal of Surat al-Baqarah, and I made for you and your nation all the earth a spot of prostration and a purified soil, and I gave to you and to your nation the Takbeer [6], and I made your remembrance equivalent to My remembrance, so none of your nation will remember Me except that he remembers you along with My remembrance. Hence, Tuba is for you, O Muhammed, and for your nation.
