Consequently, the doctrine of this sect has been rendered void— the sect which believed that 'Ali, majestic is his glory, is the Unseen, which is the Intellect, while the Light of the Essence is the Veil of the Intellect, and the Name is Muhammad, majestic is his glory, who is the spirit of the believer, the holy speaking spirit within this human form through this tongue of flesh and blood. [According to them], this is the Anza'i form that encompasses the human form, glowing and shining upon it like the shining of the sun upon the world. It is the spirit of the believer, his hearing, his sight, and his speech; it never passes through the entrails, nor does it indwell a believer except when the Imam speaks through him.

It is for this reason that the Sheikh stated: "When the believer becomes fully purified, he does not pass through the entrails, never sees darkness, is never swaddled, and never urinates in his [clothes] 1 ."
