and rose above the mouths of the worlds, and was hidden from the sights of onlookers; for sights are not perceiving Him, and eyes are not glancing at Him."

All of this is applicable to the mode of hiddenness and the impenetrable hiddenness, and we have not spoken except by what we knew from knowledge that we narrated, for it is deposited in the books of the masters; so that we may have from them the benefit toward the correctness of worship, and the narrations, reports, evidences, and traditions have become correct on the authority of the choice masters and the great sheikhs, and what they witnessed from the speech of the Compelling King, and he who judges by it has done justice, and he who disputes by it has overcome; because the Quran contains the clarification of every clarification, and within it is the knowledge of the abrogating and the abrogated, the decisive and the allegorical, the past and the familiar, the manifest and the hidden, the command and the prohibition, the promise and the threat, and the knowledge of what was and what will be; so its manifest is elegant and its hidden is deep, its wonders do not end and its marvels do not perish.
