[282] And from the book "The Realities of the Secrets of Religion" (Haqa'iq Asrar al-Din) by the Master Abu Muhammad al-Hasan bin Ali bin Shu'bah al-Harrani - peace be upon him:

From Ibn Sinan - peace be upon him - he said: Al-Baqir - majestic is his praise - said: "Indeed, behind me is someone other than me, and the knowledge of that other is not upon you." He intended by it the veiled one within the veil.

We said: "So upon what meaning did the human nature (al-nasut) establish the form?"

He said: "For the cause of your bodies. So when the power manifested from Him, the created beings were incapable of it. You knew that that form has a meaning (ma'na), and that the humanity which He manifested did not have reality for itself, and that the reality in the Lordship (al-rububiyyah) is the manifestation of power. And that Allah manifests however He wills to whomever He wills, of the great of the creation and their small. And Allah inspired you with His recognition in the human nature (al-nasutiyyah) so that you would not doubt and stray."

[283] And in it: And Muhammad bin Ibrahim narrated to me from Abu Ali al-Basri, he said: Al-Razi narrated to me from Abu al-Haytham from Hisham from al-Mufaddal from Jabir, he said: Abu Ja'far was asked about the interpretation of "the difficult, the made-difficult" (al-sa'b al-mustas'ab).
