Then my Master—may His Might be exalted—said to me: "O Jabir, where are the heads that you slaughtered?" I said: "By Allah, O my Master, I do not know where they are." He—may His Might be exalted—said: "Here they are, in the chamber from which you brought them out. Call them by their names, and they will answer you." So I began to call them name by name, from the names he had called them and the lineages he had attributed to them, and they began to come out man after man, and I found in each one a mark from those marks he had described, and an attribute from those attributes. So I said: 'Exalted and Sublime is my Master.'

Then he—may His Might be exalted—said: 'And [they are] within the mentioned races; so these races and their naming by these names and lineages rotate with them through the Cycles (Adwar) and Eras (Akwar) as I mentioned to you. Indeed, the Commander of the Faithful promised those who rely upon anyone described among them, or impart to them anything of the Secret of Allah and His sciences, that He would enter them into Hell—and an evil destination it is.'
