And Al-Raddad said in his treatise, a report narrated from some of the children of the Sheikh, may Allah illumine his face: As for his saying "a casing within a casing," this and its likes fall upon the Name and the Gate when the Name manifested through the Gate, so it was a casing within a casing. Thus, the spirit is the inward of Muhammad and it is the light of the Essence, and the holiness is Muhammad and it is the body, and that which descends into it is the knowledge of the Creator descending from Him to the Name, and it is the matter. And the Meaning, Most High, is elevated above this, and He is not pointed to with this indication, nor is He described with these descriptions, except when the name of Ali fell upon this human form, which is not human, but rather He engaged through it with the creation directly.
And the Sheikh Husayn Ahmad said in his treatise "The Spoils of the Journey" [Ghanimat al-Safar]: So it does not incline to anyone of intellect that the five persons of the Mim are indwelling within these five human, fleshy, bloody senses, for that is void and impossible; rather, they are shining upon them like the shining of the sun upon the rest of the entities, so each takes from its extension by the measure of its faculties and the strength of its readiness to accept the shining.
