[ Ibn Arabi’s inheritance of the Prophet in Al-Wajhiyyah ]
(Check the original text in Arabic ...)


And when I inherited this place from him, may God bless him and grant him peace, and I had this, I used to lead the people in prayer in the Al-Azhar Mosque in the city of Fez, and when I entered the mihrab, I would return with my entire self as one eye, and I would see from all my directions as I saw my qiblah, and neither the inside nor the outside would be hidden. Not a single member of the group even might forget a rak'ah of prayer with me. When I say the salutation and return my face to the group, I pray. I see that man making up what he missed and missing a rak'ah. So I say to him that you missed such-and-such, and he completes his prayer and remembers. He does not know the things or these conditions except the one who tasted them and who was in this condition. Where the qiblah is, he is facing it. This is how I tasted it myself. No one should pray over the mount except the person in this situation .
