And his saying is true, My mercy encompasses everything. home and God speaks the truth and He guides the way ( The two hundred and ninety-fifth chapter on knowing the house of the honorable numbers from the Prophet Muhammad )Rivers spurted out of stones *** and sank to my earth in the treasuries of my secrets One tenth of the worldly knowledge is apparent *** and what you conceal from it is nine tenths My soul asks me for the two of its existence *** and it asks me and you see the one with strings I examined myself in the city of Syed *** built from composite water and fire He has not seen a fortress like it in its height *** I am holed up behind seven walls Her position is between humiliation and honor *** He treats me in it according to my measure Until the blowing takes place in images of his senses *** into images of imagination in the isthmus of my heart And the permanence of the matter will remain there forever *** until the resurrection comes from the grave of my thoughts So I witness it in knowledge, awareness, and condition *** in the spectacle of lights and the spectacle of mysteries The variety of those manifestations we have *** by seeing thoughts and seeing eyes [ The knowledge of regulations, which is an amazing status that does not accept neglect or forgetfulness ]I listed what this house contains of the sciences, and that is the science of regulations, which are the precursors to taste, and it is a miraculous status that does not accept heedlessness and forgetfulness. On the Day of Resurrection or not, and in it is the knowledge of entering, and it is a request for strings, and for what is required, and for whom is its virtue returned, and is the one who was usurped by killing, is he satisfied with that or not? The owner of the right has no recourse to the former if the return to him becomes insolvent after the owner of the debt is satisfied with the transfer, and in it there is knowledge of the decision of the unseen so that he does not testify, and when he acknowledges, and in it is the knowledge of the unseen that must be witnessed and his request for that is from God and in it is the knowledge of the mind and the rank of its owner and in it is the knowledge of consideration and in it is the knowledge of transmission In conditions and stations, and in it there is the knowledge of qualities and quantities, and in it is the knowledge of transcendence and what it leads to, and it is specific to the dull people, not the intelligent, and in it there is the knowledge of righteousness and corruption, and in it there is knowledge of the consequences of actions, whether the commission has occurred or not, and from where did the knowledge of the people of the stars who rule it and who stand on what was taken? God deposited in it the rulings of the divine sciences and his honor over all other sciences. He mentioned the animal that, if eaten on top, gives the characteristic to the one who ate it, astrology, and if it ate in its middle, he gave botany, and if it ate its helplessness, which follows his sin, he gave the knowledge of the waters hidden in the earth, so he knows if he comes to a land without water. How many cubits does the water have, and this animal is a live animal that is neither large nor small, it is found only in Ahwaz Shalab from western Andalusia, and Abdullah bin Abdoun, the clerk of the Emir of the Muslims had signed it, so he cut off its head and tail with a two-pronged knife in one stroke and divided it into three pieces and they were three brothers, and a slave ate God is the highest of it, so he was in the science of judgment by the stars a verse without reading a book or stopping an imam, and his brother Abd al-Majid ate the middle of it. In extracting water from the depths of the earth, glory be to the One who deposited his secrets in his creation, and in him is the knowledge of the difference in breaking customs between honor and enticement, and in him is the knowledge of the reason that necessitated the love of the human animal world other than God, and the reason for love are two matters of ratio and benevolence. The relation to God is closer, for He is created in the image and benevolence of God, so He is the One who is blessed with His creation, then for all that is in Him, so how can He love others and perish in Him and in Him? |
