4. And with the same chain of transmission, on the authority of Hisham ibn Salim and Hafs ibn al-Bakhtari and other these two, that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) was asked to interpret this verse: Allah makes to pass away and establishes what He pleases. He (AS) said
“Does Allah destroy other than what exists? And does He establish other than that which was nonexistent?”
