the believer four things: knowledge, action, awe in the hearts of the deniers, and gnosis."
[51] And he, peace be upon him, said: "Whoever gives a believer something of God’s knowledge and gnosis that he needs, God will give him for every letter seventy thousand letters. And if he gives it to him when that believer is on the brink of perdition and doubt, and he saves him from doubt and error, ten houses will be removed from him that he was obligated to inhabit from what he is punished in."
[52] And from Al-Hamdani, from Abi Sa'id, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, peace be upon him, who said: "Indeed, the five things that the Children of Israel sought are the five nourishments of the body." So he said to them: {"'Do you exchange what is lower'} 1, which sustains the body, {'for what is better },' which is what sustains and purifies the soul of faith, and that is the esoteric knowledge."
