"As for the statement regarding the one who traces his lineage from the world of holiness to an element of the Counter-Agent (‘unṣur al-ḍidd)—such as Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr—we see no difference between their birth and the birth of al-Hasan and al-Husayn, glorified is the glory of them both. This is because we serve Allah through the doctrine of their absolute infallibility, maintain belief in their pure spirituality, and affirm that they never clothed themselves in dense physical bodies, never traversed wombs, and there was never any substance or trace to their appearance in humanity (al-nāsūtiyyah) except due to the cause of elemental mixture and density."

And the Prince al-Makzun, Allah sanctified his secret, clearly demonstrated in much of his poetry that the form which became apparent to our eyes is nothing but an imagination and a mirage.

And he, Allah sanctified his secret, said in verse:

“And he formulated a likeness of Reality for me inside an imagination,

Just as in the light, a shadow simulates the person.”
