Imām al-Hākim narrated: ‘Alī ibn Hamshādh al-‘Adl > Hārūn ibn al-‘Abbās al-Hāshimī > Jundal ibn Wāliq > ‘Amr ibn Aws al-Ansārī > Sa’īd ibn Abī ‘Arūbah > Qatādah > Sa’īd ibn al-Musayyib > Ibn ‘Abbās, who said:
أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ : يَا عِيسَى، آمِنْ بِمُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُرْ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ ، فَلَوْلَا مُحَمَّدٌ مَا خَلَقْتُ آدَمَ ، وَلَوْلَا مُحَمَّدٌ مَا خَلَقْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ، وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْتُ الْعَرْشِ عَلَى الْمَاءِ، فَاضْطَرَبَ ، فَكَتَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَسَكَنَ
Allāh revealed to ‘Īsā (Jesus), peace be upon him: “O ‘Īsā, believe in Muhammad, and command whoever of your community reaches him to believe in him. For were it not for Muhammad, I would not have created Ādam, and were it not for Muhammad, I would not have created Paradise and Hellfire. And indeed I created the Throne upon the water, and it trembled, so I inscribed upon it: ‘There is none worthy of worship but Allāh, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allāh’, and it became still.” (#4273)
Al-Dhahabī said in his comments regarding this narration: “I think it is fabricated, attributed to Sa’id (Ibn Abī ‘Arūbah).” (al-Mustadrak 5/334)
In al-Mīzān (3/255) he said regarding ‘Amr ibn Aws: “His condition is unknown (majhūl). He brought a rejected report (munkar), recorded by al-Hākim in his “Mustadrak,” and I think it is fabricated…”
In Lisān al-Mīzān of Ibn Hajr he concurred with Al-Dhahabīs statement. (6/189)
Muhammad al-Tamīmī said: “These fabricated hadīths and their like cannot be relied upon in establishing a matter of Islamic law such as this.
Add to that their contradiction of (Islamic) law (al-shar’), for what the legal texts indicate is that Allāh, The Mighty and Majestic, created jinn and mankind only for a purpose which He mentioned in the Noble Qur’ān, where He, the Mighty and Majestic, said:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالأِنْسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ
“And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me (alone)”.” (Huqūq al-Nabī 2/715)
As for the inscription on the Throne and their like, Ibn al-Jawzī included some of them in his Kitāb al-Mawdū’āt, such as:
…Abū Bakr ‘Abd al-Rahmān ibn ‘Affān al-Sūfī > Muhammad ibn Mujīb al-Sā’igh > Ja’far ibn Muhammad > from his father > his grandfather, who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “On the night I was taken on the night journey, I saw inscribed upon the Throne: ‘There is no none worthy of worship but Allāh, Muhammad (is) the Messenger of Allāh, Abū Bakr al-Siddīq, ‘Umar al-Fārūq, ‘Uthmān Dhū al-Nūrayn (was) killed wrongfully.”
Ibn al-Jawzī said: “This hadīth is not authentic from the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), and Abū Bakr al-Sūfī and Muhammad ibn Mujīb are both liars — as stated by Yahyā ibn Ma’īn.” (2/91)
