I said: "O my Lord, bestow upon Your servant the inward [meaning] of that knowledge?" He said: "O Mufaddal, know that your Lord, the Commander of the Bees, may His glory be magnified, made Lord Muhammad manifest in fifty stations calling to Him and pointing towards Him; so in every appearance, he bows one rak'ah that has no second, which is for your Lord, the Commander of the Bees, may His glory be magnified; He has no likeness and no peer." I said: "O Allah, unto You is the submission, and You are Knowing of all things."
(Imam Ali Zayn al-Abidin, may His glory be magnified, demonstrates His power to Hubaba al-Walibiyya)
[29] And in the Book of Luminous Cycles: with a chain of narration traced back to Jabir ibn Abd Allah al-Ansari, he said: I was in the presence of my Lord Ali ibn al-Husayn, may His glory be magnified, and in His presence was a group of the Gnostics, and my master Abu Khalid Abd Allah ibn Ghalib al-Kabuli, peace be upon him, was sitting before Him, and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib was sitting by my side, when Umm al-Nada Hubaba al-Walibiyya entered upon us; she began to step over the people until she stood before our Lord, then she fell prostrating.
