(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (as) having said: ‘Allah Mighty and Majestic Created the creatures. So He Created the ones He Loved from what He Loved, and whatever He Loved He Created it from the clay of the Paradise; and He Created the ones He hated from what He hated, and whatever He hated, Created it from the clay of the fire. Then He sent them into the shadows’. So I said, ‘And which thing is the shadow?’ So he (as) said: ‘Do you not see your own shadow in the sunshine? It is something, but is not a thing’ (Al-Kafi vol 2, part 1, h. 3, H1450)
