He -asws said...

He -asws said: ‘The one whom you speak to with part of your speech, yet he understands all of it, so that is the one whose seed is kneaded with his intellect; and as for the one whom you speak to, and fulfil (all of) your speech, then he answers you upon your speech, so that is the one in whom his intellect has been superimposed in the belly of his mother; and as for the one whom you speak to with the speech, so he is saying, ‘Repeat upon me’, so that is the one in whom his intellect has been superimposed after having grown old, thus he is saying to you, ‘Repeat upon me’’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raib, from Zurara Bin Ayn who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far -asws saying: ‘When the seed falls into the womb, it vibrates in it for forty days, it settles in it for forty days, and becomes a cloth for forty days, and becomes a lump for forty days. Then Allah -azwj Sends two creating Angels, so He -azwj Says to both of them to create whatever Allah -azwj Intends, male or female.

So they caricature it, and write down its term, and its sustenance, and its death, and whether it is to be miserable or fortunate, and they both write the Covenant for Allah -azwj which He -azwj had Taken from it in the (realm of the) particles, to be between its eyes. So when it is near for its exit from the belly of its mother, Allah -azwj Sends an Angel called Zajira (Rebuker) to it.

So he rebukes it with a rebuke, so it panics and forgets the Covenant, and falls to the ground crying from the rebuking of the Angel’ .
