“ Question” [knowing what is restricted by the absolute]

FUTMAK.COM الفتوحات المكية: الصفحة 41 من الجزء One

How can one be restricted by knowledge of the absolute and its essence does not require it? How can the possible reach the knowledge of the necessary in itself? There is no aspect of the possible except that it is permissible for it to be nothingness, obscurity, and lack. If he combined the obligatory in itself with the possible, then it would be permissible for the obligatory to do what is permissible for the possible in that aspect of obscurity and lack. This is impossible in relation to the obligatory, as proving a universal aspect between the obligatory and the possible is impossible, for the aspects of the possible depend on it, and in itself it is permissible for non-existence, so its consequences are more likely and deserving of this ruling. For the obligatory in itself, the existence of a combined aspect between the possible and the obligatory in itself is impossible
