[cclvii] Omens depending on Aspect which varies from Day to Day [p. 559.
Pengadapan Nabi
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.
