He strove for the sake of Allah with the truest strive; he suppressed the polytheists and cast down the banner of the hypocrites. His merit was recognized by those in his era and those after him among the believers. His legacy is established among the eloquent Gnostics. He holds a rank in Monotheism and Knowledge that is denied only by those who belong to the party of the renegade hypocrites.

He authored books, treatises, and elegant poems regarding Monotheism. If what he composed in verse regarding Monotheism were collected, it would form a great Diwan (collection). We shall present a piece of what he composed regarding Monotheism, which we take pride in citing, so that it may serve as a memorial for him in this book among the noble believers—may Allah grant them all success."

It is his saying , may Allah be pleased with him

Woe to a people who have willfully turned blind to the Truth,

They made the Initiator of the Beginning merely a "Beginning."

They denied the Manifest [One] whom they beheld with their own eyes,

Claiming He is the "Hidden One" who cannot be limited.
