I attributed myself to my knowledge *** that our attribution to the truth has an effect

And that he is an unknown cause of creation *** with his lofty destiny is unknown

He who is rich at all does not have *** poverty, the Most Merciful has deposited his revelation

This is what I said in the Qur an, its chapter *** So search for it and you will see by searching its details

[ The station of servitude is the station of humiliation and poverty ]

Serfdom is ascribed to servitude, and servitude is sincere without attribution, neither to God nor to itself, because it does not accept lineage to Him, and therefore it did not come with lineage. Greater in humiliation than them, for the station of slavery is the place of humiliation and lack, and not a divine description. Abu Yazid Al-Bistami said and he did not find a reason by which to draw near to God when he saw every attribute with which he draws closer to God, for divinity has an entrance, so when he was unable, he said, O Lord, what do I draw near to you, God said to him, according to what God used to do With his friends, to address them by means of which he draws near to Me by what is not mine, humiliation and need

[ The servant draws near to God with what he does not have, and God draws near to the servant with what does not belong to him ]

And here is a secret that cannot be revealed, so whoever revealed it to God knows it, God spoke to His servants about him that he has a companion, a son and examples, and that he is miserly and that he is poor in honor by saying, and we are rich. God is the saying of those who said that God is poor and we are rich, so He caused them to punish the infidels, and they are the ones who have concealed what is required of the truth upon them of honor and sharing in the names of the attributes, not in their names.

[ Do not humiliate God who does not know him ]

God Almighty said, I did not create the jinn and men except to worship Me. He did not say that about other than these two genders, because no one claimed divinity, nor did I believe in it in anything other than God, nor was it arrogant to God s creation except for these two genders. You give him the meaning of the word, but his interpretation is that they humiliate me and not humiliate him who does not know him, so it is necessary to know him first, and that he is the one with honor that humiliates the dear ones for her, so Ibn Abbas was fair in the interpretation of worship to knowledge This is the thought of him

[ The station of servitude has not been achieved in perfection, like the Messenger of God .]

And this position was not achieved in perfection like the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, and he was a pure slave and ascetic in collecting the conditions that took him out of the rank of servitude. His identity, Glory be to Him, is the One who was taken prisoner by His servant, and he was taken prisoner by Him.

He said, "I am the master of the children of Adam, and there is no pride

By opinion, i.e., I did not intend to be proud of you in your sovereignty, but rather wanted to introduce good news to you, since you were commanded to follow me and

It has been narrated and not bluffed

By the way, what I said is boastful, and I am not, for pride is boasting about falsehood in the form of truth

[ A servant is with the truth in the state of his servitude is like a shadow with a person facing a lamp .]

So the servant is with the truth in the state of his servitude, like the shadow with the person facing the lamp. The closer he is to the lamp, the greater the shadow, and there is no closer to God except with what is for you a more specific description, not for him. Likewise, God imprints on every arrogant, mighty heart, and they are two attributes of God Almighty.

His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, I seek refuge in you from you

[ The entry of the servant to the truth with his most specific attribute, and the reception of the truth for him with his most specific attribute ]

And this position does not remain for you an attribute that is specific to the truth and is unique to it, and it is not possible to participate in it from the affirmative adjectives, not the negative and auxiliary adjectives, unless the owner of this position knows them in particular, but the honor of its owner is in taste. The one in which you have no footing, and if you come with the common epithet, the common epithet will be manifested to you by the common epithet, so you know the secret of his attribution to you from his attribution to him, and it is a strange knowledge.

[ The appearance is imbued with the reality of appearance, it was what it was ]

As for the station of worship, you do not know what you know about it, for you deny lineage in it from Him and the universe, and it is a very dear station because it is not correct for the sect that the universe remains with its possibility without lineage, and it is in particular a duty to others. For the apparent is imbued with the reality of appearance what was, so the apparent is not ascribed to servitude, for there is no descent behind it, and the affiliation must be descended in rank from what is ascribed to him, and the outward is not ascribed except to him, for the effect that the eye of appearance has given is nothing but the apparent and there is no goal behind God and the thing is not. Attributed to himself, that is why worship came
