English Translation
Ibn Abbas said: "I wish I had a man from the people of Qadar (those who deny predestination), and I would strike his head." They said: "Why?" He said: "Because Allah created the Preserved Tablet from a white pearl, its two covers from red rubies, its pen is light and its writing is light, and its width is what is between the heavens and the earth. He looks at it every day three hundred and sixty times — with each glance He creates, gives life, gives honor, humiliates, and does whatever He wills."
