7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from abu Zurarah al-Tamimiy from abu Hassan who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘When Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, decided to create the earth, He commanded the air to stir the surface of the water to raise waves, which then turned into scum that was collected on the site of the House. He then made it a mountain of scum, then He extended the earth from underneath the House and that is what Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has spoken of, “The first house established for people was that which is in Bakkah, the blessed one.” (3:95)’” This is narrated from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from abu Bakr al-Hadramiy from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) also.
