So he was quoting it without taste, but he knew it because he heard it from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. We are only talking about someone who gave a clear understanding of the words of God Almighty in himself, and that is the knowledge of individuals. Among the individuals was Abdullah ibn al-Abbas al-Bahr. He was nicknamed him because of the breadth of his knowledge, so he used to say in his saying Glory be to God, who created seven heavens and the earth like them. The matter descends between them. If I had mentioned his interpretation, you would have stoned me. In one narration, you would have said that I am an infidel. To this knowledge, he was referring to Ibn Al-Hussein bin Ali bin Abi Talib Zain Al-Abidin, peace and blessings be upon them, when he said, “I do not know whether they are what he said or he imitated them.”
O Lord, the essence of knowledge, if I revealed it *** I would be told that you are among those who worship idols
And Muslim men will not make my blood permissible *** They see that the ugliest things they come to are good
So he warned by saying that he worships an idol according to what he meant. An interpretation is being considered
His saying, may God bless him and grant him peace, that God created Adam in His image
By returning the pronoun to God Almighty, which is one of its possibilities
[ The problem of inner knowledge ]
By God, my brother, be fair in what I say to you. There is no doubt that you have agreed with me that everything is correct.
