and is the most precious companion.
One accompanied by beauty remains ill. One whose witnessing increases in his ardor increases in his illness. “God is Beautiful and loves beauty.” “Do not strike parables for God” [al-Nahl 16:74].
God Most High strikes parables for Himself only because He knows and we do not.
One whom God makes know should conceal it, lest he become audacious and sin. Seek refuge in God from debt and sin, as did the one there.
Among this: one characterized by perfection has not inclined, from Chapter 250.
Perfection lies within the isthmus, the loftiest station. Were it to incline, it would not possess balance.
“He let the two seas meet; between them is an isthmus they do not overstep” [al-Rahman 55:19, 20]. Some overstepping is transgression. One who oversteps transgresses. Whoever “is wronged, God will surely support him” [al-Hajj 22:60], even after a time. “Worship your Lord until certainty comes to you” [al-Hijr 15:99].
When it comes to you, support comes. You hurl at the wrongdoer “sparks like palaces, as though they were yellow camels” [al-Mursalat 77:32, 33]. You leave the narrowest place for the broadest abode and the most fragrant, far-spreading scent. That fragrance perfumes the assembly.
The herald said, “Who is this?” He replied, “This is the one wronged: the Real has descended to him.” He honored him through His descent and ennobled his locus through His alighting.
