But the angels withheld from speech, so they neither answered nor denied; they neither said: 'Yes, yes,' nor did they say: 'No, no.'

So when He changed the form upon them, and manifested to them in the different forms: in the form of the elegant youth with twisted mustaches riding upon a lion of light; and in the form of the sheikh with white head and beard, and that was with solemnity and mercy; and in the form of the small child, and showed them how he is nourished and how he grows; the angels looked at one another and said: 'Is there anyone among you who does what this one does?', they said: 'No.'

Thereupon, they knew that He is their Creator and their Originator, and at that moment they recognized Him, declared His oneness, lauded His praise, and magnified Him, and they said to Him: 'You, You, there is no deity except You, manifest by whatever You wish, however You wish,' and they deemed Him transcendent above their likenesses, their forms, and their examples when they witnessed the power from Him, and that He is capable while not being overpowered."
