How authentic is the Hadith: "I and Ali ibn Abi Talib were created from the light of God on the right of the Throne, glorifying and sanctifying God fourteen thousand years before God Almighty created Adam. When God created Adam, we were transferred to the loins of men and the wombs of pure women. Then we were transferred to the loins of Abd al-Muttalib, and we were divided into two halves"?
There is no Hadith stating that the Prophets and the Companions were created from light. Rather, this Hadith is fabricated, and the signs of fabrication are evident in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that angels were created from light, jinn were created from fire, and Adam was created from dust. The Prophets and the Companions are human beings created from what humans were created from. This mentioned Hadith contradicts definitive texts.
