[236] And from it: Speech of our Master - exalted is his might - : "And I have indeed been given the seven which no one before me preceded to: I saw the paths of the Book, and the causes were opened for me,

and I knew the lineages, and the course of the Ha' (al-Ha'), and I knew the fates and the afflictions, and the decisive speech. I looked into the spiritual realm (al-malakut) so nothing was hidden from me that was absent from me. I am the master of the Heights (al-A'raf), I am the master of the Basin (al-Hawd). Indeed, there is no Imam from us except and he is recognizing of all his guardians (awliya'). I am the guide by the authority (wilayah)."

[237] And from it: From the speech of our Master - exalted is his might - he said: "So this Asif bin Barkhiya was able to carry the throne of Bilqis from its place to Solomon in the blink of an eye, since he had knowledge from the Book. And how could I not do multiples of that when I have the knowledge of a thousand books."

[238] And from Al-Kawkab al-Durri, Ibn al-Musayyib said: There was no one among the companions of Muhammad - exalted is his might - who would say, other than Ali bin Abi Talib - exalted is his might - : "Ask me," and he was heard repeatedly saying upon the pulpit: "Ask me before you lose me, for indeed I am by the paths of the heavens more knowing than you are of the paths of the earth.
