(1). 3109. Waki' bin Hudus narrated from his uncle Abū Razīn who said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Where was our Lord before He created His creation?' He said: 'He was (above) the clouds – no air was under him, no air was above him, and He created His Throne upon the water.'" (Hasan) Aḥmad [bin Manī'] said: "Yazīd bin Hārūn said (regarding) the air – 'It means there was nothing with him.'" [Abū 'Eisā said:] This is what was said by Hammād bin Salamah: “Wakī’ bin Ḥudus.” Shu’bah, Abū ‘Awānah, and Hushaim said: “Wakī’ bin ‘Udus” [and it is more correct. Abū Razīn’s name is Laqīṭ bin ‘Āmir. He said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan.

٣١٠٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ‌يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ ‌وَكِيعِ بْنِ حُدُسٍ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ‌أَبِي رَزِينٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: «يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيْنَ كَانَ رَبُّنَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ خَلْقَهُ»؟ قَالَ: كَانَ فِي عَمَاءٍ، مَا تَحْتَهُ هَوَاءٌ، وَمَا فَوْقَهُ هَوَاءٌ، وَخَلَقَ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ. قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ: الْعَمَاءُ: أَيْ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ. هَكَذَا يَقُولُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ: وَكِيعُ بْنُ حُدُسٍ، وَيَقُولُ: شُعْبَةُ، وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ، وَهُشَيْمٌ: وَكِيعُ بْنُ عُدُسٍ، وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ. وَأَبُو رَزِينٍ اسْمُهُ لَقِيطُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.
