Know, may God help you, that drinking is what you benefit from in the second breath, in addition to what you benefit from in the same taste, to the extent that it reaches the view of those who see irrigation and those who do not see it.

[ Drinking is either out of thirst or out of desire .]

And know that drinking may be from thirst, and it may be from pleasure and not from thirst, as the people of Paradise drink after they drink from the basin that served them in the place of taste, so they drank from the basin out of thirst, then they would never become thirsty after that, for the people of Paradise will not become thirsty in it, and they drink in it a drink of desire and no appetite. He drank thirst and did not ward off his pain

[ The difference in drinking according to the drink ]

And know that drinking differs according to the drink, and if the drink is one type, then it differs according to the moods of the drinkers, which is their willingness. Some people drink water, and some of them drink milk, and some of them drink wine, and some of them drink honey, according to the image in which that knowledge is manifested. These types are images. Various sciences we have mentioned in a part for us that we called the levels of the sciences of endowment, and our evidence for what we said are the sciences of the Prophet s dreams, may God s prayers and peace be upon him.

He said: I was seen as if I had been given a glass of milk, and I drank from it until I saw the water coming out of my nails, then I gave my bounty to Umar.

This knowledge is manifested in the form of milk, and the sciences are also manifested in the forms of drinks, and since Paradise is the abode of vision and transfiguration, and what God has mentioned in it are only four rivers, rivers of water that is not tarnished, rivers of milk whose taste does not change, and rivers of pure knowledge of pure water. It does not occur except in four forms: water, milk, wine and honey, and each manifestation has a specific type of people and specific conditions in one person. Some of it is for the owners of the pulpits, who are the messengers, and from it is what belongs to the owners of the family, who are the prophets, and from it is what belongs to the owners of the chairs, who are the inheritors of the saints, and they Believers and what is then a fifth class, and each class prefers some of them over others, as God said in that regard those messengers.

I will not come to them from before them and from behind them and from their right and from their left and he did not mention the rest of the directions because they were not accompanied by an action, for they are for divine revelation and divine endowment and divine forbidding and merciful forbidding and merciful forbidding and merciful prohibition and the gathering of the people who are in the right of the four sciences and authority. With breaths always, and they are the ones who do not say irrigation and in the right of a people for a certain period of time, the same for them. God Almighty says on the day of perjury and vision. Bring them back to their palaces. And they are the ones who say irrigation in all these drinks and in some of them and the variety in all of the people. Whoever varies in drinks, he is the most perfect, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, liked to mix water with milk and drink it, and mix honey with milk, and there was nothing left but wine. The Prophet, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, actually drank milk with water and drank honey with milk, so the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, drank it pure and mixed with what is permissible for him and for this also.

The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, used to say about milk if he drank it, O God, bless us in it and increase it for us.

Because there is with him a picture of a parable in knowledge in the authentic hadith of vision, and he is commanded to seek more knowledge by his saying, and say, Lord, increase me in knowledge. So the milk reminded him of asking for more from him.

He used to say about all foods, O God, bless us in it and feed us better than it

Whenever he, peace and blessings be upon him, drank Zamzam water, he would sip from it, and he loved sweets and honey

All of these, I mean drinks, were placed by God by giving examples of the types of sciences that appear to those who know in the images of these senses, and he singled out wine with heaven rather than this world, and combined it with pleasure for the drinkers of it. Pleasure flows in its members and judges its outward and inward faculties. There is no one in the drinks who has power and control over the mind except wine. It is for the tasteful divine knowledge that the minds sway in terms of their thoughts, and only faith accepts it, just as the knowledge of the scholars in the science of this way is a charge because the knowledge of this way has an impact on it. He is the ruler who influences other types of sciences, and no one else influences him because of the strength of his authority, because he influences the mind and the mind is the strongest it can be.
