Chapter: | On knowing the abode of the suffering of the believers, from the Syriac station of the Mohammedan presence. |
Page 5 - from Volume Three (Display Image)It falls into the hands of the Most Merciful, so the Most Merciful meets it and He nurtures it as one of you raises his foal or his camel And he did not say as one of you raises his child, for the child may not benefit from it if he is a bad child, so the benefit to the child is not achieved. Rather, he may suffer harm from him, such that he wishes that God did not create him, and the elephant and the legionnaire are not like that, because the benefit from them is achieved and it must either ride him or what he carries. Or with its price, or with its meat that he eats if he needs it, so he likened it, Glory be to Him, to what is achieved to benefit from, so that the believer knows that he benefits from his charity and must first benefit from it. He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said that a good word is charity So she also raises for him and takes care of the right by himself to raise everything that a slave begets from marriage, not from incest. Perhaps his father s rank would be high with him, and he would see a favor to his father over him with that, so he would be righteous through him, benevolent to himself, out of respect for the rank of the king and his care for his father, and on this the actions of those who know his servants take place. Similar to this in the phrase about other houses, because I found at the door of this house pictures of what I mentioned, and we did not complete all that I saw on its door, so this amount of what is in this house, such as the boys, blacksmiths and veils that are at the king s door. Between the two worlds, and the knowledge of revealing the unseen from behind the veils, and when they were veiled, and when they were removed, and what came out of them, and what remained, and what is expected to be extracted from that, and what is not right to be brought out from what is possible to come out, so what is the impediment, and does it come out of hearing or without hearing and if it is from hearing for hate or From love and pleasure, or divided into this and this according to the conditions that the times give, and from the sciences of this house also is the knowledge of the increase in something from itself and not from others, such as spreading the folded and spreading what is received, and the science of extracting tangible treasures by names and what it gives of the properties in that so that the knower stops that. On the location of the treasure, he speaks by name, so he splits the earth for the money stored in it, as the muzzle is ripped off the flower. It includes the knowledge of happiness and misery with signs, and includes the knowledge of the regions, and why it returns, and the description of the truth with the superiority, is it a superiority of a party or a superiority of rank, and it includes knowing the conditions of people in their homes that they settle in the hereafter, and what is the cause of those conditions in which they change in those homes, and are they repeated over them with their notables in their times In it or not, it includes God s vision of His servants for any proportion that returns and includes the honor of the planets and time without preference and includes the science of denying faith with the presence of knowledge and this is one of the things that worries the investigator and has human knowledge and that it is not specific to the quest A disease outwardly, and if it is specific to good, then God Almighty says: So, give them good tidings of a painful chastisement, and speaking about this glad tidings is by language and custom. Painful and as for the way of language, it is if it is said to him that it affects his skin, then if it is said to him that he has the best effect on his skin, he spreads his face, laughter, joy, shaking or joy, and if he is said to him evil, it affects his skin with fists, crying, sadness, pain, tears and frowning. At that time, there was dust on her that was suffocating her for a long time, so he mentioned what affected their skin. For this reason, the glad tidings used to refer to good and evil in language. As for custom, it is not. That is why God Almighty released it and did not restrict it. The situation in which knowledge is eternity and when it will return. Is eternity temporal or is it the essence of time, and what remains time, does it remain by itself or remain with others, he has that other as he is with us a tactful circumstance eternity and its perpetuation, or it is an illusory matter that has no real existence in my eyes, and God speaks the truth and He guides the way |
