English translation
2642. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allāh said: "Indeed Allāh, the Blessed and Exalted, created His creation in darkness, then He cast His Light upon them, so whoever is touched by that light he is guided, and whoever is not, he goes astray. It is for this reason that I say that the pens have dried with Allāh's knowledge." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan.
