'In certainty' (Yaqinan) means in absolute reality, without doubt or suspicion."
In his poem titled 'I Searched with My Secret' (Bahathtu bi-Sirri), he says:
Seven stars and four,
They have a Crescent appearing in China.
His saying 'They have a Crescent appearing in China': He refers to the Meaning (al-Ma'na), and 'China' (al-Sin) refers to the Gate (al-Bab).
(The expression of al-Dardad al-Halabi):
His soldiers are the Bees; whoever stays with them
Shall find repose in Spirit and Fragrance.
'His soldiers' refers to His followers, His party, and His Shia; the pronoun [His] refers to the Crescent (al-Hilal). 'The Bees' (al-Nahl) are the Believers.
I drank the Pure Water (Ma' al-Ma'in) from Him
and thus I was never stingy with [sharing] the vessel thereafter.
The pronoun in 'from Him' refers to the Crescent whose soldiers are the Bees... etc.
