And its rank, so it descends on the heart of a servant from the unseen in the unseen from one eye to one eye that does not accept detail. He made it for God, or he told it to us, he told us on the authority of a group of them, including Abu al-Badr, on the authority of our Sheikh Abdul Qadir, may God have mercy on him, that he said that the Sunnah comes to me when I enter, so it informs me of what will happen in it and what will happen, as well as the month, Friday and the day. It includes work and from before and accepted, but I restricted it here with regard to our sheikh, my father may be attributed in Ramadan, because our friend Abu Zayd al-Raqaqi al-Usuli told me the testimony of this in the month of Ramadan, as this informant was with him at that time, so he saw Ramadan coming to him informing what we mentioned, so the places of the universes with God are not known through God. Defining the divine and taking care of this close one, except by informing God of His servants in their secrets by what He casts into them from the breath of a soul into awe, as the angels used to descend upon the prophets, peace be upon them, with this.

[ The ranks of creation are different .]

And know that the ranks upon which the creation is different in each gender, the messengers prefer each other, the prophets prefer each other, the investigators prefer each other, the knowers prefer each other, and so on to the owners of practical craftsmanship. In the two mentioned two thousand, but these eight have a specific description that appears in the manifestation of the stations, which is one hundred and sixty-six manifestations, then the authority of these eight manifestations appears and gives from knowledge what God wills to give. And the sixty-six are given from the general sciences that are applicable to existents and their survival and what is about them and because of them a general, abstract, pure, fixed knowledge that does not shake and is not suspected, even if its ruling is transmitted from and in it and does not depart from it. A natural form and natures are four, so the incomplete manifestation in the natural form is at a time in the fiery element, so it is imperfect in itself, but it gives according to what its element gives it does not exceed it. In another manifestation, the second element was added to that form until he completes the elements in four manifestations, so the manifestation falls in the fourth element with the perfection of the natural form in a complementary form, so he joins his brothers from the manifestations. His condition appeared to him in the Eye of Transfiguration, so he imagined that the deficiency was in the Transfiguration and the deficiency was in it. Then it happened that when the second Transfiguration was manifested to him, he saw that image that he was in in himself, adding to it what was not there, and the decrease and the increase in it, so he judged the Transfiguration accordingly.

[ Verily, the luminous, subjugated spirits descend upon the hearts of the knowers .]

And know that the luminous, subjugated spirits, not the masters, descend on the hearts of those who know, as we have said about the commands, the divine affairs, and the good things, according to what the truth desires for this servant. In which the people of this method and the sages who work to purify souls and rid them of the turmoil of nature share, and before the truth takes charge of its command by the rise of the means, it stays away from the two matters, such as the pause between the two stations and the example of the general sleep between sense and imagination, which is the place of confusion for this heart. The one who used to sympathize with him and take from him has lost him, and the one who comes to him what he has seen yet remains bewildered, and my companion Abu Ishaq Ibrahim bin Muhammad Al-Ansari Al-Qurtubi, may God grant him success, on the authority of our Sheikh Abu Zakaria Al-Hasani in Bejaia, said that more than one of his companions and those who attended his death told me that the Sheikh went out to the people and was in The congregational mosque is in seclusion in the month of Ramadan, and he has changed his clothing that was on him, and the change has appeared in it. He said to them, Pray for me, for I have lost what I had, and he had not yet had anything of the coming and he was hot in his affair, so he asked the people to pray for him, for he was not among the people of The divine tastes due to the predominance of jurisprudence over him did not make the matter clear to him, then he returned to his seclusion, so his exit was slow for them, so they entered upon him, and if he was lying in bed, he had left the world, so he indicated to them by changing his clothes. So I rejoiced for him about that, perhaps God had taken over him a moment before his death, so he took him to him while he was with him, and the state of the knower was in this confusion and supplication.
