God said to the Prophet (s.): ,,O Aḥmad, were it not for you, I would not have created the celestial spheres and if it were not for ʿAlī, I would not have created you and if it were not for Fāṭimah, I would not have created you both.” [Mustadrak Safīnati l-Biḥār of an-Namāzī aš-Šāhrūdī, vol. 3, p. 169]

قال الله تعالى في الحديث القدسي لرسوله الكريم صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: يا أحمد لولاك لما خلقت الأفلاك، ولولا علي لما خلقتك، ولولا فاطمة لما خلقتكما
