As for the silent person who speaks by gesture, he exhausts himself and others and does not produce anything for him. Rather, he is one of those who imitate the mute who speaks by sign, so he is not to be relied upon. This is what a group of people on the path have erred about. So whoever advises himself, we have established for him the scale of this station by which he will be weighed so that he will not be confused about it. This matter is only for the divine and benevolent people, not for other believers and Muslims who have not attained the status of benevolence .
