How to reconcile the following hadiths: "Allah was, and there was nothing before Him, and His Throne was over the water, and Allah wrote in the Preserved Tablet everything, then He created the heavens and the earth"

The questioner : How is it possible to reconcile the following hadiths: narrated by the two Shaykhs. In Musnad Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), from Luqayt ibn 'Amir al-'Uqayli, who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, where was our Lord before He created His creation?" He said: . And the hadith: . Narrated by Ahmad, al-Tirmidhi, and al-Bukhari. So the first hadith indicates that the creation of water and the Throne preceded the writing of things in the Preserved Tablet, the second hadith clarifies that the creation of the signs preceded the Throne, and the third hadith clarifies that the first thing Allah created was the Pen.
How is the reconciliation achieved... regarding the first of created things, may Allah bless you, because that touches upon creed and contradicts the position of the Sufis that the first thing Allah created was the light of our master Muhammad?

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
These hadiths mentioned by the brother questioner appear on the surface to be contradictory, but in reality they are in agreement and harmony, not in disagreement.
So the first thing Allah created among the things known to us is the Throne. Allah created the Throne and rose above it (Mighty and Majestic) after creating the heavens and the earth, as He the Exalted said: .
As for the Pen, there is no evidence in the hadith that the Pen is the first thing created. Rather, the meaning of the hadith is that when Allah created the Pen, He the Exalted commanded it to write, so it wrote the decrees of everything.
As for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he is like other human beings; he was created from the water of his father, 'Abdullah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, and he did not differ from humans in any aspect of his creation, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about himself: . So he (peace and blessings be upon him) gets hungry, gets thirsty, feels cold, is affected by heat, gets sick, and dies. Everything that befalls humanity in terms of human nature befalls him (peace and blessings be upon him). However, he (peace and blessings be upon him) is distinguished by the fact that revelation is sent to him, and that he is worthy of the message, as He the Exalted said: .
