As for the attribute here, it is the Light; and the Name is the reality of our master Muhammad, His glory is magnificent, and all names, attributes, descriptions, and allusions apply to him, according to His saying, the Exalted: "And to God belong the best names." 1 The location (al-makan) in this context is the Gate (al-Bab), who is our master Salman, peace be upon him; from him is the knowledge of our master Muhammad, His glory is magnificent, sought, and he is the one who guides to him.

As for the gate (al-bab) in this location, it is the Greatest Orphan (al-Yatim al-Akbar), and through him one enters into the location. Yet, the location can be in another context the Name—which is our master Muhammad, His glory is magnificent—and the most majestic gate is our master Salman, peace be upon him, since through him one enters into his knowledge.

[22]And his saying, peace be upon him: "The All is You, He, O He; O He whom none knows what He is except He."

This is an allusion to the Originator (al-Bari), the Exalted, since the word "He" (Huwa) is a name among the names of the Name, and it is this entire composition.
