And the words of the Almighty: {And they say, "When we are lost within the earth, will we indeed be in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers} 1 .
He [the Master] said: They say: "When we are brought out of this human state (Bashariyyah) and our structures are buried in the dust, will we exist in the form of metamorphosis and in forms other than our own?" They do not accept that, and thus they disbelieve by this saying of theirs; so they deserved to exist in metamorphosis, witnessing it with their own eyes.
[60] On the authority of Dawud ibn 'Ali al-Hashimi, from ibn al-Husayn al-Qasim al-Kufi, from Muhammad ibn Mihran, from Muhammad ibn Sadaqah, from Muhammad ibn Sinan—peace be upon him—who said: "I was with the Scholar—may His Might be exalted—conversing one day regarding the mention of the 'Ayn and the Mim (al-'Ayn wal-Mim), when suddenly a caller (Hatif) upon a wall, and behold, it was a gecko (Wazagh). The Scholar—may His Might be exalted—said: "May you perish as a shouter! How severe is your enmity!" I asked: "What is it saying, my Master?" He replied: "It says: 'If you do not cease mentioning Muhammad and Ali, I shall surely revile you regarding Muhammad and Ali, and I shall surely curse them both.'"
