How can clouds be formed without the creation of water upon which was Allah?

What is the authenticity of this hadith? > The Prophet ﷺ was asked, “Where was Allah before He created His creation?’ He said: “He was above the clouds, below which was air, and above which was air. Then He created His Throne above the water.” (Sunan Ibn Majah ) When Allah (swt) himself says in the Holy Quran 21:30 that we created every living thing from water so can you please tell me! How can clouds be formed without the creation of water upon which was Allah (swt)?
