(Mathaba). He recited for the one seeking forgiveness and requesting resignation [from sin] the saying of the Almighty: {And [remember] when We made the House a place of return for the people} (Al-Baqarah: 125). So they took refuge in the Throne (Al-Arsh) and requested resignation, and He accepted their resignation.

The Frequented House (Al-Bayt al-Ma’mur) was placed below the Throne in the seventh heaven, joined to the Upper World (Al-Alam al-Ulwi); thus it was named the Frequented House. It is below the Throne, and into it enter seventy thousand angels every day who never return¹ to it again. This House and the earth opposite it were a refuge for the human world.
