So a child among them answered Him: "We witnessed Your matter, so we recognized You, so we worshipped You, so we thanked You."
The Prince of the Believers said: "Gently, gently! Do not bear witness to this except for the Lord."
So the child said: "There is no deity except You."
He said: And the Prince of the Believers crossed over, and the cry occurred in the city, so the children were struck mute.
And from the subtle Meaning: that is the pointing to the Messenger of Allah, majestic is His mention, in his manifest speech to the spirituality of the Essence and His appearance: {And He is the One who in the heaven is a deity, and on the earth is an Imam, and He is the All-Wise, the All-Knowing.} 1
He means by that that Allah, besides whom there is no deity, whom you unify and worship while He is hidden from you in the heaven, is also a deity on the earth—manifest, seen, witnessed, and wise, showing His wisdom among you, a ruler over you, and aware of your secrets and what you declare.
