[228] And from it: What Salman and Abu Dharr narrated from the Commander of the Faithful - exalted is his might - that he said: "Whoever's exoteric in my allegiance (wilayah) is more than his esoteric, his scales will be light. O Salman, the faith of a believer is not complete until he recognizes me by the luminous nature (nuraniyyah). And if he recognizes me by that, then he is a believer whose heart Allah has tested for faith, and whose breast He has expanded for Islam, and he has become recognizing of his religion, insightful. And whoever falls short of that, then he is a doubting skeptic.
O Salman and O Jundab, indeed my recognition by the luminous nature is the recognition of Allah, and the recognition of Allah is my recognition. And it is the pure religion due to the saying of Allah, Glorified be He: "And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, being sincere to Him in religion"",
