لا تحسبن رجالا يفرحون بما

أتوا وليس لهم فيما أتوا قدم

و يفرحون بحمد الخلق فيه وما

لهم من الفعل إلا الفقد والعدم

و ذاك هجير ختم الأولياء ومن

يكن له مثل هٰذا الوصف ينعدم

و هو الإمام الذي رست قواعده

الطيب الطاهر المحسان والعلم

تعنو له أوجه الأملاك قاطبة

والخلق يعنو له واللوح والقلم

(هجير الذكر ودعوى الفعل)

اعلم أيدنا الله وإياك بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ أني التزمت هٰذا الذكر أيضا سنين متعددة، حتى كنت أُسمّى به في بلدي، كما كنت أُسمّى أيضا بغيره من الأذكار، ورأيت له بركات ظاهرة.

فلا بقوله ﴿أَتَوْا﴾ ولا بقوله ﴿بِما لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا﴾ [آل عمران: ١٨٨]^[51] فهو قوله: ﴿فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ ولكِنَّ الله قَتَلَهُمْ﴾ وقوله: ﴿وما رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ ولكِنَّ الله رَمى﴾ [الأنفال: ١٧].

They rejoice in creatures' praise for it, while

Nothing of the act is theirs but lack and nonexistence.

This is the constant invocation of the Seal of the saints; whoever

Possesses a description like this becomes nonexistent.

He is the imam whose foundations are firmly rooted,

The good, the pure, the Bountiful Benefactor (al-Miḥsān), the standard.

The faces of all angels bow before him,

And creation, the Tablet, and the Pen bow before him.

(The Constant Invocation and Claiming the Act)

Know—may God strengthen us and you with a spirit from Him—that I too adhered to this invocation for a number of years, until I was named by it in my town, just as I was also named by other invocations. I saw manifest blessings belonging to it.

Neither through His saying, ﴿They have done﴾, nor through His saying, ﴿What they have not done﴾ [Āl ʿImrān 3:188]^[51]. It is His saying, ﴿You did not kill them, but God killed them﴾, and His saying, ﴿You did not throw when you threw, but God threw﴾ [al-Anfāl 8:17].

(Painful Delight and the Claim's Contradiction of Knowledge)

The human being brings the act insofar as the act appears within him. He loves to be praised for what has been done within him, although the act is not his. He has delight in this to the measure of his claim,
