God the Exalted said: {Say, "If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement"} 1 . This refers to His manifestations, meaning that they cannot be confined by number; they are known in a universal manner so that the believers may testify to them.

[5] For the Knower—Mighty is His Might—said: "Whoever knows the Truth from one aspect but denies it from another has remained ignorant of more than he has learned." This is achieved by erasing the "accidental attribute" (al- ‘araḍ) arising from the darkness present within the observers of the Light of the Essence, and by affirming the Power that is exalted above Names and Attributes.

Knowledge of the Protégé (Walī):

As for knowing His Protégé: it is the knowledge of His Supreme Veil (al-Ḥijāb al-A‘lā), between whom and his Master there is no separator. He is the Throne of His Essence (‘Arsh Dhātih) and the locus of His Names and Attributes.
