In the Hikayat asay pade (“origin of rice”), Adam and Hawa, driven from paradise, meet again near the mountain of Rahmat, where the angel Jebra’i gives Adam lessons in agriculture. When God commands Adam to sacrifice his son, the son’s body becomes rice grains of various kinds, returning home once a year at harvest; Hawa’s gathering of seven blades from the field is said to be the origin of the Acehnese ulee pade (first rice) custom.
