Page 577 - from Volume Two (Display Image)With that, staying awake in your circus from the pleasure of sleep, lying down, and stillness, so they put a corresponding wording for that, which is what they say in the morning, Praise be to the secret people. And the morning is an expression of this light. The case without taking it away from its owner and the envious one who requests the removal of this matter from its owner and does not expose in his request to obtaining it all at once. It is envy, and seeking its removal is reprehensible, and it is envy, so we have discussed this detail in it, even if the Shari a used the term envy in the place of envy. He, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said, There is no envy except in two things: A man to whom God has given wealth and he has authority over his perdition in the truth. Spend it and split it right and left And in this is a secret and a warning on the virtue of generosity and giving without compensation, for whoever gives to someone is a purchase that is not generous, for the generous one is one who does not ask for compensation. It was said that compensation for him is necessary, for praise of generosity is necessary for the one who is generous. We said this does not happen except from the ignorant, because good praise is one of the requirements of generosity, whether he asks for it or not, so his preoccupation with asking for the result is ignorance, for the result is not desired, and what is necessary for something is necessary, otherwise it is not necessary, if he does That joined the Companions of Al-Awaad, and he was not distinguished by generosity or clothing at that time And the other man is a man to whom God has given knowledge and he spreads it among the people That is, the hadith separates him from them, as he said, peace be upon him, for we mentioned it in terms of meaning and some of its words, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, so he called it envy. God Almighty says in His saying, and from the evil of the envier when he envies, and evil is not in seeking to obtain the same as him, but evil in seeking his removal from one who is with him. Among the people of this affair, some of them made it an independent degree by itself, but it separates between two divine stations, which is not our doctrine, and some of them made it a sixth degree in the specifics of this station, which is our doctrine. Ibn Burjan, so he was alone without the group by showing the second house in this degree of the unseen, and I did not know that for anyone else, and he has a face in that, but it has a great dimension. I blame the vocabulary of those who know this path and it is related to knowing the identity and to this degree there are nineteen houses of martyrdom. The houses in this degree were made the angels of fire nineteen, and we do not reverse, so we say, for the sake of these angels, these houses were made nineteen, for the matter was not like this, and these houses were not in the rule of making, unlike the angels, for this degree required these positions for themselves. By virtue of creation and they were in the world of martyrdom because fire is tangible and witnessed. This sixth degree of science includes the knowledge of divine names related to the universe and has an image in general in terms of creation and in particular in terms of happiness [ The house is the place in which the right descends to you, or you descend upon it .]And know that there is not one of these houses that are in this book that does not have this degree, and its effects differ according to the different houses, except for one house of oppression, and it will be mentioned, God willing. The twelfth and a hundred, and this haste narrows its secrets to each of these houses in which it is deposited. And the battle is that he wants to descend upon you, and he places in your heart a request to descend upon him, so the determination moves a gentle spiritual movement to descend upon him, so the meeting with him takes place between two descents. |
