As-Salaam alaikum,

Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:--

"Allah the Exalted created creation in a darkness [fi zulmatin];

then He cast upon them from His Light. Whoever was touched by

that Light, he is guided, and whoever was missed by it is misguided.

Therefore, I say that the Pen is dry [and all is] in Allah's Knowledge."

(Reported by Tirmidhi, Ahmad, Tabarani and Bayhaqi)

Abdullah Ibn Amr narrated: "I heard Allah's Messenger, Sallallahu

alaihi Wasallam, saying: 'Verily Allah created the elements of man

in darkness and then He infused into them His Light. He who

received this Light (and then made use of it) received the right

guidance and he who erred was led astray. That is why I say that

the Pen has no more to write about Allah's Knowledge."

(Reported by: Ahmad and Tirmidhi)

Commenting on this hadith in his work, 'Aridat al-ahwadhi (10:108)', Ibn Arabi al-Makki observed that "it is clear from it that each one receives of that Light to the extent of what he has been granted out of the general and the specific...in the heart and in the limbs."
