May God’s prayers and peace be upon him. He facilitated the matter. He took it, but it was as the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, had expressed optimism about it. So the matter was organized at the hands of Suhail.
His father did not intend that when he named him by it, but rather made it a proper name by which he would be known. Other than him, even if his father did not intend to improve his son’s name except for good.
[ The terminology of the people of God is based on words that no one knows except them ]
When the people of God saw that the sign had been considered, they used it among themselves, but they clarified its meaning, place, and time, so they did not use it among themselves or within themselves except when sitting with someone who was not of their kind or for something that was going on in their souls. The people of God agreed on words that no one knew except them, and they followed a method. No one else knows it, just as the Arabs used similes and metaphors in their speech so that they could understand each other. If they were alone with members of their own kind, they would speak what the matter was according to the clear text, and if someone who was not one of them was present with them, they would speak among themselves using the words they had agreed upon, so the foreign companion would not know what they were talking about or what they were saying. The most amazing thing about this method, and it is only found in it, is that there is no sect that carries knowledge, including logicians, experts in engineering, arithmetic, scholars, theologians, and philosophers, except that they have a terminology that an outsider does not know.
