And what is its sustenance?

And what is its sustenance?’, and everything from its state, and a number of things from that, and they both write these down as the covenant in between his eyes. So, when Allah Completes the term for him, Allah Sends an Angel, so he rebukes him with a severe rebuke, and he forgets the Covenant’.

So, Al-Hassan Bin Al-Jaham said to him, ‘So is it allowed that he can supplicate to Allah, so He Changes the female to a male, and the male to a female?’ So he said: ‘Allah does whatever He so Desires to’.

[63] (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (the fifth successor of Prophet) having said: ‘Whenever Allah Mighty and Majestic Intends to Create the seed from which He would Take the Covenant against in the ribs of Adam -as , or whatever He would be Managing for him with regards to it, and Makes it to be in the womb, Stirs the man for the copulation, or Reveals unto the womb: “Open your door until My Creation resides inside you and My Ordainment and My Power is implemented”.

So they both look into it, and they find (written) in the Tablet, its image, and its adornment, and its term, and its Covenant whether it is miserable or fortunate, and the entirety of its affairs’.
