The proof of that is His manifestation in the human attribute, for it only falls upon the human, whereas all the worlds of Light are too majestic for human attributes, let alone the Greatest Name.

Of what resembles that regarding the application of names to him... And the contradictory sayings of Allah and the heavenly books.

Among what resembles that—of the application of names upon Him—is his saying in his sermon: "I am the Fig, I am the Olive." Meaning that this fig, the olive, and other earthly plants indicate His existence, the Exalted, to His servants in heaven and earth.

The Exalted has indicated this meaning by His saying in Surah Al-An'am: {And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees—of its emerging fruit—are clusters hanging low. And gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields fruit and at its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe} (Al-An'am 99).

From Nahj al-Balagha, among the sayings of our Master, the Commander of the Faithful, is what indicates this meaning, which is his saying in some of his sermons: "So everything He created became a proof for Him and a guide to Him."
