So I said to him, O Abu Abd al-Rahman, I do not know a name for this station to distinguish it by. He said to me, “This is called the Maqam al-Qarbah.” So I investigated it, and I investigated it. Suddenly, it is a great station for the scholars of drawings from the people of diligence, in which they have a firm footing, but they do not know that they are in it, and I saw the divine supply flowing to them from this. This is why some of them deny each other and some of them make mistakes about each other because they have no taste and they do not know from whom they derive observation and revelation. Each one of them is right, just as every prophet in this Muhammadan era has a law and a method, and belief in all of that is obligatory for every believer, even if we do not abide by their rulings except what we are obligated to do.
