He was Khasibi in his school of thought and sound in his belief, may Allah be pleased with him. Among what he said regarding Monotheism is this poem:

Exalted is the Possessor of Glory, Praise, and Will,

He who created the earth and the high heavens.

He did not deviate from His True Being when He appeared

Manifestly within a human creation.

He familiarized (ānasa) the creation when He took form

Among the creation, appearing to us in the Anza’i form (Ali).

Thus, everyone beheld Him according to the measure

Of the strength of their own holy power.

He is the Deity in the earth and in the heaven,

The One, Perpetual in His Absolute Oneness.

The inhabitants of the earth [beholding Him] in the heavens

Call upon Him as the Deity of eternal might.

And those in the heaven call upon Him [beholding Him] on

The earth as a Deity who sees all of creation.

He fills the heaven and the earth; glory be to

My Deity, the Possessor of Eternal Power."
