صور خيالية محركهم الحق، والناطق عنهم الحق فهم مصرفون تجري عليهم أحكام القدرة وهم محو في عين ثبوتهم وعدم في حال وجودهم أولئك هم الصامتون الناطقون والميتون الأحياء كحياة الشهداء فالعقل يشهد ما لا يشهد البصر.

فإقامة الصلاة الإلهية (هي) عموم رحمته بمخلوقاته فهي مخلقة. قال تعالى: ﴿أَعْطى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ﴾ [طه: ٥٠] والرحمة شيء، وخلقها تعميمها.

وكذٰلك صلاة الملائكة تامة الخلقة فإنها دعت للذين تابوا كما ذكر وقالت أيضا: ﴿وقِهِمُ السَّيِّئاتِ﴾ فعمت فما بقي أمر إلا دخل في صلاة الملائكة من طائع وعاص على أنواع الطاعات والمعاصي.

وصل (صلاة الإنسان والجن)

وأما صلاة الإنسان والجن وهو قوله تعالى: ﴿الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ﴾ [المائدة: ٥٥] فإقامة البشر لها أن تنسب إليهم بمعنى الرحمة كما نسبت إلى الحق، وبمعنى الدعاء والرحمة كما نسبت إلى الملائكة، وبمعنى الدعاء والرحمة وإتمام التكبير والقيام والركوع والسجود والجلوس كما ورد في الخبر.

Intellect witnesses what sight does not witness.

Establishing the divine blessing is His mercy extending universally to His creatures, so that blessing is fully formed. God Most High said, “He gave each thing its creation” [Ta Ha 20:50]. Mercy is a thing, and its proper formation is its universal extension.

Likewise, the angels’ blessing is complete in form. They supplicated for those who repent, as mentioned, and also said, “Protect them from evil deeds,” making it universal. Nothing remains outside the angels’ blessing, whether obedient or disobedient, in all the kinds of obedience and disobedience.

Continuation on the Prayer of Humans and Jinn

As for the prayer of humans and jinn, it is His words, “those who establish prayer” [al-Maʾidah 5:55]. Human beings establish it when it is ascribed to them in the sense of mercy, as it is ascribed to the Real, and in the sense of supplication and mercy, as it is ascribed to the angels. They also establish it in the sense of supplication, mercy, and completing the proclamation of God’s greatness, standing, bowing, prostration, and sitting, as related in the report.

Whoever completes its bowing, prostration, and everything prescribed in it, including what congregational prayer and following the prayer leader require if he prays in congregation, has perfected its form.

If he falls short in any of it, his prayer is according to
