And this is a witness and a proof that cures the thirst, and as for what was brought forward by the brother mentioned earlier—may Allah the Exalted pardon him—he has contradicted with his aforementioned saying all that I have explained and presented, and what I witnessed of it and was familiar with, and I established the proof upon it by his understanding of his Creator.

For everyone whose understanding concerning his Creator falls into disbelief, it is because the scholar is eager and strives in seeking Him, but when he reaches this station he refrains; he knows that it is the truth, but by his far-fetched interpretation therein, he perished.

Al-Khasibi, may Allah honor his station, says:

So I said, when they increased by their ignorance

Upon fairness, so that they would not plot against me

My allegiance and what I adhere to is Ali The Most High, and his connection suffices me

And in the tradition: A questioner asked his brother: "Have you recognized Allah?"

So he said: "He manifested, so I found Him."

I said: "How did He manifest so you found Him?"
