It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty created His creation in darkness, then on that day He cast His light upon them. Whoever received that light on that day was guided, and whoever it missed went astray. That is why I say: The pen has dried according to the knowledge of Allah Almighty."
