And remember Moses and the righteous servant when he said to him: {May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgment?" He said, "Indeed, you will never be able to have patience with me. And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?} 1 .

[53] And His glory is mighty said: Whoever knows the secrets of divine matters, let him leave wading into them, otherwise competition will carry them to declare him a disbeliever. Then he said: Not everything concealed is permissible to be manifested to you, nor is everything known permissible for you to teach to other than you.

A Section on the Intellect

[54] The Messenger of Allah, His glory is mighty, was asked about the intellect, so he said: The intellect is two intellects: an intellect latent within the hearts like the latency of fire within iron, and an intellect bestowed from the Lord upon the lorded-over servant; so by the existence of the intellect, its possessor finds his acquaintance with the Lord.
