essential cosmos is Al-Miqdad, and we are within it; the third, aerial cosmos is Abu al-Darr [Abu Dharr], and we are within it; the fourth, aquatic cosmos is Abdullah, and we are within it; the fifth cosmos, which is fire, is Uthman ibn Maz'un, and we are within it; and the sixth, terrestrial cosmos is Qanbar ibn Kadan, and we are within it. This means that He manifests to every cosmos in accordance with its own nature and development, so they behold Him as a person among them, based on what they have merited of His vision." I said to him: "And what did Allah create from these six cosmoses?" He said: "O Mufaddal, Allah created from every cosmos a creation that recognized Him, found Him, glorified Him, and sanctified Him; and they never doubted Him for the blink of an eye up to the Day of The Shadows [al-Azillah]. And there was between each cosmos a span of years and a duration that none can compute save Him. So when He created Adam as a human being from dust, breathed into him of His spirit, and placed within him a portion from every cosmos, the Meaning [Al-Ma'na] manifested ¹ to him through this description and formation."
