القدر من التنبيه على شرف هذه الحضرة كاف إن شاء الله. والله ﴿يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ وهُوَ يَهْدِي السَّبِيلَ﴾ [الأحزاب: ٤].

حضرة الاكتفاء

إن الحسيب هو العليم بما لنا

و بما له فالكل في الحسبان

لو تعلمون بما أقول وصدقنا

فيه وفي الأكوان والإنسان

إني نطقت به وعنه وليس لي

عين تنطقني سوى المحسان

(الحسيب بين العلم والكفاية)

يدعى صاحبها عبد الحسيب، وأدخلها القائلون بحصر الأسماء في الصفات السبعة في صفة العلم. وقد جاء في مدلول هذه الحضرة الأمران: الواحد مثاله ﴿وتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقاظاً﴾ [الكهف: ١٨] وأمثاله، والثاني ﴿ومن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الله فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ﴾ [الطلاق: ٣]، أي به تقع له الكفاية فلا يفتقر إلى أحد سواه.

And what belongs to Him: all is within reckoning.

If you knew what I say, and our truthfulness

Concerning Him, engendered beings, and the human being!

I spoke through Him and from Him, and I have no

Entity giving me speech but the Bountiful Benefactor, al-Miḥsān.

(The Sufficient between Knowledge and Sufficiency)

Its possessor is called the Servant of the Sufficient, ʿAbd al-Ḥasīb. Those who restrict the Names to the seven attributes subsumed this Presence under the attribute of knowledge. Both matters occur within the meaning of this Presence. An example of the first is ﴿You reckon them awake﴾ [al-Kahf 18:18] and its like. The second is ﴿Whoever trusts in God, He is sufficient for him﴾ [al-Ṭalāq 65:3]: through Him sufficiency occurs for him, and he needs none other.

When unveiling comes, the veiled one knows that no one ever needed any but God, but did not recognize Him because of His self-disclosure within the forms of causes that veiled creatures from God, exalted is He, even though they witnessed none but God. For this reason He alerted them, had they been attentive, through His saying,
