"He bore witness to the truth, spoke and practiced with sincerity, and did not disclose what he knew except to those worthy of it (ahluhu). May Allah sanctify his soul and illuminate his tomb.

And by one of the Gnostic Monotheists—may Allah sanctify his soul:

'In Abel (Habil), I believed at the moment of [the first] Manifestation;

And the second of the Manifestations granted me my desires.

Joseph (Yusuf), Joshua (Yusha‘), along with Asaph (Asif),

And Simon (Sham‘un)—[all] are Haydar [Ali] upon witnessing.

An Ancient Imam, Ancient in Manifestation;

Upon the heights, He is the Meaning of Meanings.

He is al-Hasan al-Askari, to whom

Mankind and every Jinn have submitted.

Exalted is the Master of the servants above any likeness,

And above being fully encompassed by any [physical] sight.

He pardons the servant for what he has committed,

And gathers him within the palaces of the Gardens.'

Distinguish with your intellect and purify your mind regarding what this Monotheist has composed.
