requirements of the prayers, their arrangements, and their verbal and physical varieties; and preserving the constant remembrance of the persons [Ashkhas] of these prayers, and professing the religion of Allah through their religion, and worshiping in their worship, and saying what they said, and believing in what they indicate through their indications, signs, and examples.
Excellent is the Saint, son of the Saint, the great scholar Abu al-Husayn Muhammad ibn Ali al-Jalli, who polished our hearts by what he bestowed upon us of the clarification of the meanings of the intent behind the outward [aspects] of these prayers and their indications and what pertains to them in his treatise titled "The Inward of Prayer" (Batin al-Salat). So hold fast to it, O seeker, and do not neglect it, for it is indeed a fine treasure for whoever contemplates and ponders it.
