Hubaba then fainted, falling upon her face, and I fell upon my face prostrating, saying: "Your protection, Your protection from Your wrath after Your pleasure!" He called to me: "Raise, O Jabir, your head." So I raised my head as my Lord commanded me, and behold, all of that power had returned to where it began; and Jabir does not know from where was its beginning and its occurrence.
And behold, the ceiling had returned to its place and stood firm upon its pillars, and Hubaba raised her head and rose, standing upon her feet. My Lord said to her: "Are you satisfied, O Hubaba, and is your question complete?" She said: "My Lord, and who is he that can dispense with the distinction of Your abundant favor and the succession of Your mercy, Your grace, and Your benevolence?
So bestow upon Your maidservant the completion of Your eternity and the perfection of Your grace. And I would love to know from You and transmit from You: how much has passed of the span of the world from the time of its formation, the start of its creation, and the moment of its measurement? And how much remains of it until the exhaustion of its existence, the cessation of its time, and the non-existence of its essence?"
