And the House, the Gate, and the Pillar, his Hajj is accepted.
The House is Lord Muhammad, and he is the Sacred Ka'ba because he is the House of God and His place. His saying "and the Pillar" (al-rukn): he intended the pillars of the House, who are the four personages of the Mim: Fatir, al-Hasan, al-Husayn, and al-Muhsin. The Gate is Salman, to whom belongs the submission. Every textual designation appearing regarding the "Gate" intends Salman. Whoever recognizes the House as we recognized it, its explanation as we explained it, and its pillars and its Gate, his Hajj is accepted and blessed.
And the Hajj consists of personages of light, whose identification is a glorification. Not a spot or a wall, nor a structure that leans.
This is clear and manifest: that the Hajj consists of personages, and that their recognition is the Greatest Hajj, because striving toward a wall and buildings is not Hajj. The Station (al-maqam) is the Name, as the Almighty said: {And [recall] when We made the House a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the station of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], "Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate"}1. As for the Waterspout (al-mizab) and the water that descends from it, it is the science that emerges from the Gate to the Orphans, providing it to them. The Yemeni Pillar is al-Miqdad, as is the Stone (al-hajar). The Iraqi Pillar is Abu Dharr. The Levantine Pillar is Abd Allah ibn Rawaha. The other Yemeni Pillar is Uthman ibn Maz‘un, because they are two Yemeni pillars. The Wood between the two pillars, which stands by the side of the Black Stone where the pilgrim stops, is Qanbar. Likewise, the Black Stone is al-Miqdad.
