This applies to this place in this book, since what we mentioned regarding the enumeration of images is beyond your understanding.

It was mentioned in the well-known, good and strange narration that God appeared to Adam, peace be upon him, with his hands clasped and said to him, “O Adam, choose whichever one you wish.” So he said I chose the right hand of my Lord, and both of my Lord’s hands are a blessed right hand. He said, so he extended it, and behold, Adam and his descendants. He looked at one of the most luminous of them or the most luminous of them, and said, “Who is this, O Lord?” So God said to him, “This is your son David.” He said, “O Lord, how many times have you written for him?” He said, “Forty years.” He said, “O Lord, how many have you written for me,” so God said, “A thousand years.” He said, “O Lord, I have given him sixty years of my life.” God said to him, “You and that.” He continued counting for himself until he reached nine hundred and forty years.
