them what was prohibited in these [other] legislations, then disappeared into the Fire, so they venerate it until now? Likewise, [He manifests] in every genus as that genus, without [human] perception, restriction, or encompassment, but rather as an affirmation, an origination, and a witnessing—all of that being justice from Him, the Exalted.

What also indicates this meaning is what we cited from his report as well—may Allah sanctify him—in this book, saying: that the table (al-jadwal) placed in the "Book of Ranks and Degrees" (Kitāb al-Marātib wa al-Daraj) and in the book "The Truths of the Secrets of Religion" (Haqā’iq Asrār al-Dīn) [states] that all that Allah the Exalted mentioned in His Book of palms, pomegranates, olives, fasting, prayer, pilgrimage, zakat, jihad, easts, wests, seas, mountains, houses, mosques, cloisters, churches, bees, birds, cattle, and other than that, they are Persons (Ashkhāṣ) whom Allah commanded to be known and obeyed; and there are no [literal] palms, nor pomegranates, nor mountains, nor trees, nor beasts.
