THE FIRST AND THE LAST
1 - Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakkil -Allah be pleased with him - narrated to us, he said: `Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim narrated to us, from his father, from ibn Abi `Umayr, from ibn Udhaynah, from Muhammad b. Hakim, from Maymoon al-Baan who said:
I heard Aba `Abdillah (al-Sadiq) [a] when he was asked regarding the saying of the Mighty and Exalted "He is the First and the Last" say: (He is) the First such that there was no first before Him, and nothing began before Him. And He is the Last but without an end (to Him) as is understood of the attributes of creation. Rather He has ever been First and Last, who has not passed away nor will pass away, without a beginning nor an end. Incidents don't occur to Him, nor does he change from state to state, (He is the) creator of all things.
