Without a doubt, he is neither truthful nor a liar when he says that he saw his image. He did not see his image. So what is that visible image, where is its place, and what is its significance? It is negative, fixed, existing, non-existent, known and unknown. God Almighty revealed this truth to His servant, setting an example so that he might know and realize that when he was unable and confused to comprehend the reality of this while he was from the world. He did not have knowledge of its reality, for he is more incapable, more ignorant, and more bewildered by its Creator. This alerted him to the fact that the manifestations of the Real have a subtler and gentler meaning than this which minds have been confused about and have been unable to comprehend its reality to the point of being unable to say whether this has an essence or no essence, for it does not attach it to pure nothingness. Sight has perceived something, not by pure existence, and I know that there is nothing beyond it, not by pure possibility

[ Sleep and what comes after death until When resurrection and the state of revelation ]

Bodies that he does not doubt, and the revealers are seen in His wakefulness is what the sleeper sees during his sleep, and the dead person after his death, just as he sees in the afterlife the forms of deeds weighed despite their being symptoms, and he sees death as a ram eager for slaughter, and death is a ratio separated from a meeting, so Glory be to Him who is ignorant, let him know and know.
