He encompasses everything in knowledge” [Ta Ha 20:98]. Set a ruling for every occurrence, for thus God has legislated. Follow: one who follows has attained the right.
One who follows the Real’s example is right, though afflicted, because he has seen Him as another and believed in evil and good. He has recited a Furqan, not a Qur’an.
One who recites obtains clearance; one who recites the Furqan is a possessor of consideration within demonstration. He must be bewildered, for he has established another.
From here one who is described through jealousy comes to be so described: “If you are wary of God, He grants you a Furqan” [al-Anfal 8:29]. He addresses a believer and faith.
He has called “O…” only to the believer, people, and those who have been given, not to the possessors of direct seeing.
Volume Thirty-Four ends. In Volume Thirty-Five there follows: “Among this: whoever comes from above possesses taste.”
Notes
Translator’s note: Waḍaʿ may also be read as past tense, “He set a ruling,” rather than the imperative “Set.” Qur’an/Furqan evokes gathering/differentiation; aṣāba/muṣāb contrasts attaining the right with being afflicted. ʿAyn in the final description of those addressed permits “entity” or “eye/direct seeing.”
