Along with his — Exalted Glory — saying in the Sermon of the Pearl (Khuṭbat al-Lu'lu'a): 'Behold, there is nothing except that I possess its keys and its redirection, and I fulfill its promises, to me is its straightening, and upon me is its observation. He who understood it, understood; and he who was ignorant of it, was ignorant. So, acquire from your Greatest Law (Nāmūs) the loyalty of guidance, and hold fast from your Divinely-inspired one to the holiness of the Guardianship (Walāya). Tread the steps of insight, drink from the watering place of tranquility, and scoop from the sea of holiness whose water is known, whose healing is great, as a guidance.' And His saying in the Book: «And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah'?" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen"»1.
Along with his — Exalted Glory — saying in the [Sermon of] Revelation (al-Kashf): 'I knew its absences, I flowed its mirages, and I rode its clouds. I am the shaker of the earth and its mountains, and the bringer out of its treasures and its burdens. I am the establisher of the Qibla, the Master of the Kaaba, the beginner of the Sharia and the quencher of the fire of zeal. I am the slaughterer of Iblis and the raiser of Idris, the one who lowers the banners of disbelief, and the speaker of every scroll—what is after the truth but delusion? I am the one who caused Jesus to enter his mother's womb as an entrance.' And His saying in the Book: «And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it, and no grain is there within the darknesses of the earth
