(No. 345) ʿAbd Allāh related to us—my father related to us; Ibn Atish informed us; ʿImrān narrated, on the authority of Wahb, who said:
“Moses, peace be upon him, said: ‘My Lord, the people are asking me, “How did You come to be?”’ He replied: ‘Inform them that I am the One who existed before all things, the One who brings every thing into existence, and the One who remains after everything else has passed away.’”
