He made that day a feast of joy for them in the state, so he fed them and gave them drink on it, and I do not mean by the partner whom they worshiped and relied on, but rather by the partner I mean his image existing in their souls, not his very person. He is the one who gave them joy on this day and made it a feast for them. As for those who made him a partner with God, that recipient is not without being satisfied with this. It is impossible or he will not be satisfied. If he is satisfied, he will be like them, like Pharaoh and others, and if he is not satisfied and flees to God with what they attribute to him, he will be happy in himself and misery will befall those who accuse him.

Whoever considers what we have mentioned from these witnesses to be a feast day for the Christians, he fasts it in order to differ from them, and whoever considers it to be the first day on which God took care of the creation of creation in their eyes, he fasts it, thanking God Almighty, and he responds to it with an unparalleled act of worship, so the intentions of the knowers differed in their fasting, and among the knowers are those who fasted it because it is Sunday in particular. Sunday is an attribute of purifying the truth, and fasting is an attribute of purity and a rank immune to fever, because fasting prohibits the fasting person from breaking the fast and enjoying intercourse, and refraining from reprehensible things. The fasting person is forbidden if he backbites, slanders, is ignorant, or is characterized by something reprehensible according to Islamic law. In that case, the occasion occurred between him and Sunday in The characteristic of being pure, so he fasted fo

This is why fasting has by nature heat and dryness due to the loss of food, and it is the opposite of what nature requires. For the sake of life, it requires heat, not its passive nature, and it requires moisture, which is passive rather than cold. The fasting person met it with the opposite, so he met it with the original and passive, for he is commanded to contradict the soul, and the soul is a pure nature that is in conflict with God in itself, to stop the existence of a world. All bodies are upon it, and had it not been for it, no eye would have appeared to the world of bodies, so it became frivolous and lost.

Muslim narrated in his Sahih on the authority of Abu Al-Bakhtari, who said: “We met Ibn Abbas, and we said, ‘We saw the crescent.’ Some of the people said, ‘This is the age of three,’ and some of the people said, ‘It is the age of two nights.’ He said, ‘What night did you see it?’ We said, ‘Such and such night.’ Then he said, ‘The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.’” He said that God extended his vision, so for the night you saw him

The masters of God’s people said that the ruling is for time, and the human being or the Sufi is the son of his time and is not judged by the past or the future, except that the human being does not know that he is the son of his time despite the ruling of time upon him, and the Sufi knows that by virtue of his time he is in the same matter, so for this reason we said that the Sufi is the son of his time due to his knowledge. Based on that, and because of his knowledge that in what he is judged by, there is the effect of prophecy, and not every human being knows that, even though it is such and such in the same matter, so whenever this ruling appears to a person and he is described with knowledge that he is of his time, then that is the meaning of his saying, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, “It is for the night you saw it,” then we know with certainty if the crescent was In the rays, He is manifested to us, but we do not see them, as we definitely know.
