Fasal ini pada menyatakan Nabi-nabi punya pengadapan kapada hari yang tujoh masing-masing dengan adap-nya.

Bermula kapada hari Ahad Nabi Allah Adam ʿaleyhi al-salam mengadap ka timor laut; dan kapada hari Ithnin Nabi Allah Musa ʿaleyhi al-salam mengadap ka timor tĕpat; dan kapada hari Thalatha Nabi Allah ʿIsa ʿaleyhi al-salam mengadap ka tenggara; dan kapada hari Arbaʿ Nabi Allah Ibrahim ʿaleyhi al-salam mengadap ka selatan; dan kapada hari Khamis Yunus mengadap ka barat daya; dan kapada hari Jumʿat Nabi Muhammad sall’ Allahu ʿaleyhi wa’l-salam mengadap ka barat tĕpat; dan kapada hari Sabtu Nabi Allah [?] ʿaleyhi al-salam mengadap ka utara ada-nya.

Itulah hari yang tersebut katahui uleh-mu, hei, Talib sakalian-nya itu didalam-nya jangan bersia-sia ada-nya.

Besides the above, there are other systems of Omens from Aspect: e.g. one in which the figure is a Dragon (naga) which changes its position at the end of every three months of the Muhammadan calendar. This system applies especially to warfare; thus, it is ruinous to approach an enemy from the point of the compass to which the mouth of the Dragon is pointing, but good to come from the quarter towards which its back is turned, and so on.

Another, the Rajal-al-ghaib, begins thus:—

Fasal pada menyatakan edaran Rajal-al-ghaib:89 ia-itu yang di-kata Rajal-al-ghaib itu jinazah Sayidna ʿAli ibn Abu Talib radhi Allah ʿanahu, ia-itu di-arak uleh sagala malaikat ampat penjuru dunia ini; itulah kita katahui, jikalau berhadap dengan jinazah itu neschaya lĕmah kita dan jikalau berprang atau berklahi alah kita; ia-itu itulah handak kita katahui supaya semperna perbuatan kita dengan berkat shefaʿat Nabi kita Muhammad sall’ Allahu, d.s.b. dan dengan berkat Rajal-al-ghaib itu. [The rest of the account specifies the aspect towards which the “bier” faces on the several days of the month, and directs it to be solemnly saluted (membri salam). An elaborate diagram follows, constructed on the same principle as the aspect-compasses illustrated in the text.]
