Page 155 - from Volume Four (Display Image)The Shariah divided it by its fullness *** That is why I said its quality and quantity [ David, peace be upon him, is more like the children of Adam to Adam, peace be upon him ]When David, peace be upon him, in the signification of his name upon him, resembled the children of Adam with Adam in the connotation of his name upon him, God declared his caliphate in the Qur an in the earth as he declared the caliphate of Adam on the earth, for the letters of Adam are not connected to each other and the letters of David are likewise, except that Adam differentiated between him and David with the letter meem, which It accepts the tribal and remote communication, so God brought him another so that no other letter could be connected to him, and he made his heart one of the six letters that do not accept remote communication, so David took from Adam two thirds of his rank in names and Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, took two thirds as well, which is the meem and the signifier, except that Muhammad is all connected and the letter The one who does not accept dimensional communication has made another until he is connected to him and he is not connected to anything after him and he is His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, if I were to take a friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a friend, but your friend is God s friend So he contacts him and he does not communicate with anyone, so Muhammad suited Adam, peace and blessings be upon both of them, in two ways. All of them were given to Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, with all the words, and his message spread as pervasively procreation from Adam to his offspring. He, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said, Adam, without him, is under my banner. So Adam looked at David without his son when he mentioned it, so he decided on his age, so he gave him sixty years of age, which is the age of Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him. His gift that David gave from his life, so he entered under the banner of Muhammad, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, as for the statement of truth in the two caliphs on the specification of their rights, then God Almighty said in the caliphate of Adam, peace be upon him, that I am making a caliph on earth who wants Adam and his sons and he commanded the angels to prostrate to him, O God Almighty said in David We made you a caliph on earth, then he said about him what he did not say about Adam and do not follow whims. His name is Nassib, so his share of his name was the distraction in it, so the Most High commanded him not to follow desires because every letter of his name is unique to himself. From God what He commanded, and when David knew that, what God taught him by way of warning in His forbidding him not to follow whims and He did not say your whims, meaning do not follow the whims of anyone who refers to you and judge by what I have revealed to you of the truth, for passion has no ruling except by communication, and the letters of David s name do not require communication. So God protected him from a special aspect, so when the Almighty God commanded him, he sought forgiveness from his Lord, i.e., he asked for cover from God, which is the barrier between him and the misguided passion in order to connect with him and be characterized by him and affect the judgment with which he was sent. The standing was his bowing, returning to his origin from himself, so he is the eye of the curtain that he asked for in his forgiveness, so when his desire came, he did not find anything erect and standing to turn him away from his course, so he affected him, so he left him and did not hurt him, and God protected him and covered him. From his servants, he is misled by the interpretation of that whoever follows and guides those who are, if it is only, then you will be misled by the one who will follow and guide you from you, and I will forgive us and may God bless us You did not comprehend them, nor did you see them, and among the servants of God are those whom God conceals from being blamed for sin, and each has a known station. If David was in his judgment *** by virtue of desire, he would have strayed from himself But he is a bosom master *** whom God has chosen from his sanctity He has the light of himself apparent *** in him stands out according to his gender So what escaped from a slip had brought it ***, but rather a return to his fault |
