The Tarikh of Bukhari is hard to find online but I have a copy at home from which I will post later, but here are some of the other references:
The Holy Prophet sawas. said,
"Fourteen thousand years before Adam, upon whom be peace, was created, I and Ali (a.s.) were a Light in the presence of God. When God created Adam, upon whom be peace, He divided it into two parts. I am one of the parts and Ali (a.s.) is the other part."
Sunni Refernces:
Al Muhibb al Tabari narrates this tradition on the authority of Salman from the Prophet (sawas.) in al Riyad al Nadirah, ii, 163:
Ahmad ibn Hanbal in al Fada'il;
Sibt ibn al Jawzi in Tadhkirat Alآkhawass, 46;
Abu Hatim Muhammad ibn Idris al Razi in Zayn al Fata fi tafsir Surat Hal ata, MS.;
Abd Allah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal in Zawaid manaqib Amir al Muminin, MS.,
This tradition has also been narrated by also Ibn Mardawayh, Ibn Abd al Barr, al Khatib al Baghdadi, Ibn al Maghazili, al-Asimi, Shiruyah al Daylami and others from Imam Ali , Salman , Abu Dharr , Anas ibn Malik , Jabir ibn Abd Allah and other Companions.
The Light (Noor) of the Prophet (PBUH&HF) and Ali (AS) preceded the
creation of Adam (AS):
Salman al-Farsi (RA) narrated that:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) saying: "I myself, and
Ali were one light in the hands of Allah fourteen thousand years
(14,000) before He created Adam (AS). When Allah created Adam
(AS) He divided that light into two parts, one part is me and one
part Ali."
