« The Three Hundred and One Chapter on Knowing the Revelation of the Book Divided between the People of Bliss and the People of Punishment »
The one who is close to someone is the one whose character is *** the character of righteousness, and the righteous are ignorant of him.
Proximity is a home to nothing that resembles it *** A spring in which He has sent down His abode
Its entirety has been exalted in holiness and status *** And there is no tongue for any created being He separates it
Indeed, the worlds are comprehended by the scale*** so do not neglect it and do not neglect it.
Proximity is an additional matter, for there is the possibility of harm *** It will be sustenance for the soul of Him who asks Him
Let him grant him what he asks for if he is generous ** * And beware of miserliness that miserliness will kill him. <
