Then Shihab emerged from the cloak and said:

We have recognized you through the Veil (al-Hijab), so join us

O Security of the frightened, for the incapacity is from us

Do not let us be wretched while You are Generous

And remove the harm, O Protector (Muhaimin), from us

We did not challenge you to malediction since we knew

By the radiance of your luminous Face, we have supplicated

Then he called out: "O Muhammad, the word was only that you would challenge us to malediction with the people of the Earth; as for the people of Heaven, then for them are the people of Heaven." Then he departed while saying:

The knowledge of Manifestation (‘Ilm al-Zuhur) for the intellects, if they are pure

Is difficult, yet the intellects soften it by his grace

Jesus and Ahmad in the Epiphany (al-Tajalli) are one

A thousand whose person remained behind by his compassion
