Is it possible to cite the Hadith Qudsi that includes details about the creation of the Pen, Allah’s conversation with it, His command for it to write destiny, and a description of its length extending from the heaven to the earth?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Pen was created and commanded to write, so it wrote the decrees of everything until the Hour is established, based on the hadith: "The first thing Allah created was the Pen. He said to it: 'Write.' It said: 'My Lord, what should I write?' He said: 'Write the decrees of everything until the Hour is established.'" No hadith has been reported regarding its length.
