Muhammad ibn al-Mufaddal, Umar ibn al-Furat the Scribe, and our Master Abu Shu'ayb.
{Like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty person reckons to be water until, when he comes to it, he finds it to be nothing, but he finds God there, and He pays him his account in full; and God is swift in account} 1 .
Seventh: The Essentialities of Unity (Dhātiyyāt al-Waḥdāniyya)
These are five, and the Two Pledges (al-Safqatān) are also from its essentialities: Gabriel, Yā’īl, Hām, Dān, and Abd Allāh. Also included are Rawzaba, Salman, Danḥiyya, and Umm Salama. {He who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return your vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?} 2 .
It remains for me to clarify the types of manifestations so that the Essential (al-Dhātī), the Archetypal (al-Mithlī), and the Mingled (al-Imtizājī) may be recognized.
