And from the fact that he informed us that he is with us wherever we are by way of witnessing and memorization, we accompanied him, and from the fact that He showed us in every form in which He appeared, we do not add to it in the state in which He appears in His servants, we agreed with him, and from his being truthful in saying, and he said, They forgot God with his knowledge that the world among us knows that he is the identity of everything that we have forgotten. Being revealed, say, He is God, the One, God the Eternal, begotten not begotten, nor begotten, and none is equal to Him, having no kinship with Him. Despite their differences, we have described him, and from the fact that he named himself with names from which he does not understand the meanings that he carries, but rather understand from them lineage and additions, such as the first and the last, the apparent and the hidden, the rich and the Most High, and the likes of that we describe him and from his saying that if there were gods in them except God, they would have been corrupted, then he pointed out the reason and united him and from His being in a blindness and on the throne equals, and He placed us in conditions by which we ask for the Remembrance to be sent down to us, and it is His words and the attribute does not separate from what is described. He described us as his dwelling place, and from his being alive, and he called himself the life-giving, and made us a dead city, we called him to revive it and watered it. He and peace be upon him, we denied him, and when he came to us from near and far for a wisdom that wants to appear in us, we answered him, and what he used from us in our affliction we made known to him, and from his being with his servant in his tongue if he fell ill and his heart and resorting to him we went back to him and with the thirsty one who imagined the mirage watering when he came to him he did not find him and we fed him and we fed him food Every calamity and calamity is important for him to lift it from the weak. We called him and by saying in our supplications to him about his command, forgive us and have mercy on us and grant us victory. We commanded him and by saying no. During the day we spoke to him and with him in the darkness of the night we passed him and in the prayer when we said and he says we saved him and when we traveled with our people we took him as his successor and when he asked us to support his religion we helped him and if we did not ask for anyone but him witness or absent and we depend on him in every case we got him and by holding our souls accountable we preceded him and our names that brought us to him and gave us favor He is like the humble, the humiliated, and the poor we met him, and because we heard, we heard him, and our eyes saw him, we saw him, and with what we found for him, by reason, we worshiped him. His names are in fact, except that he exposed them from the description of the best, so he is the Almighty God in terms of his identity and his soul Whoever, with the generality of his mercy, which encompasses everything, is merciful, with what he has made obligatory upon himself for his repentant servants, the Lord, with the benefits that He has created for His creation, is the king with the proportion of the kingdom of the heavens and the earth to him. By his safety from all that was attributed to him from what his servants hated to attribute to him, the believer, for the sincerity of his servants, and for what he gave them of security, as they fulfilled his covenant that is dominant over his servants with what they are in from all their conditions of what is theirs and upon them the Mighty because of the victory of those who overcome him He is the one who does not overcome and his refusal in the height of his holiness to resist the mighty with what he forced his servants to do in their compulsion and their choice, so they are in his grip arrogant for what happened in weak souls of his descending to them in the secret of his kindness to those who approached by limit and measure of an inch and an arm and sold and jogging and joy and wonder and laughter and the likes of that Creator By estimation and creation, the Creator with what He created from the generators of the pillars, the photographer, with what opened in the dust from the images and in the eyes of the manifested to them from the images of the manifestation attributed to him what he denied of them and what was known and what surrounded them and what did not come under the encompassing of the Forgiving by whom he concealed from his faithful servants |
