They will have the ability to eavesdrop on the highest assembly, and their companion will think that this is God’s honor in it, and it is far from what they think. This is why you will never see anyone sitting with them who has acquired knowledge of God from them in a single sentence. The goal of the man whom the spirits of the jinn take care of is to give him knowledge of the properties of plants, stones, names, and letters. It is the science of semiotics. He did not acquire from them except the knowledge that was condemned by the tongues of the laws, and whoever claimed to be with them and is truthful in his claim, then ask him about a question in divine knowledge. You will not find any taste in him at all. Men of God flee from their own company more than they flee from people, for their companionship must occur in the same person.

And among them are those who are more Merciful than Him by sitting with the angels, and how good are the companions. They are pure lights with no curiosity in them, and they have divine knowledge in which there is no doubt, so their companion is seen to have increased knowledge of God always with the breath. So whoever claims to sit with the highest assembly and does not benefit from knowledge of his Lord in himself, then the claim is not valid, but rather He is the possessor of a corrupt imagination, and among them are those for whom the Most Merciful relieves a closeness to God in his inner being and permanent spiritual manifestations, so in every soul he is still possessed of knowledge of a new state of God and a new familiarity.

And there is not a class that we have mentioned except that we saw among them a group of men and women in Seville, Tlemcen, Mecca, and in many places, and they had proof attesting to the validity of what they say. As for us, we do not need any of them for proof of what they claim, for God has given each class a sign by which it is known, so if we see that sign We know the sincerity of its owner from where they do not make you aware. Our opinion of someone who claims that is a liar or one with a corrupt imagination. If we learn of him that he will return, we advise him.

The first of them is the limbs and the highest in the inward part is thought, so it does not contemplate what it deserves. It does not help him, for that leads him to obsession, wishful thinking, and lack of competition in having the intention to perform acts of worship. A person’s thoughts are never free of one of two things, either about what he has in this world or about what he does not have of it. If he thinks about what he has, then there is no cure for him according to the sect except to depart from it and asceticize in it.
