I said: "You are magnified, O my Lord, and Exalted is how swiftly You displayed Your power and how swiftly You manifested Your greatness." Hubaba raised her head and stood up while she was testifying to the Oneness of Allah and said: "Woe to Hubaba, I have perished by my boldness against my Lord."

So He said to her: "O Hubaba, there is nothing upon you; be firm, you shall see greater than that." Then He pressed the stone a second time, and there emerged from Hubaba worlds and a world containing types of creatures and varieties of species without end to them nor a limit; Allah did not leave a nation described or mentioned in the ages and centuries but that it appeared from under that stone; and they displayed various transformations of languages and clamor of voices, and all of that was with glorification, hallowing, seeking aid, and supplication, until there did not remain on the earth a place for a foot except that upon it was a Name.

At that He said: "O Hubaba, do you know that in all of that you have been, and into its likes you have returned?" She said: "O my Lord, Hubaba has no knowledge of Your origination of her nor of Your returning her to it." He said: "O Hubaba, and unto its likes is [your] destiny, and in its forms is a peer, according to the will of the Willer and the end of eternity."
