Line 1: Line 1:
He spoke in the hands of God with submission, reverence, shouting, and repentance, and he said: “I want from the best of your talents to provide me with your spiritual blessings.” So the spirit's face flared up, and then he said, "Come, slave!" And he commanded him to sit in front of his face, and then the tongue of God spoke with words that filtered out the filters of meanings on everything that was and what will be. And I was not able to describe it or mention it, and I did not know what the hand of care spent on him of his hidden spiritual blessings, so that his soul, his spirit, his being, and himself were drawn from it, and the dominance of longing took him over a matter he was unaware of himself and everyone in the heavens and the earth. . So he turned secretly and openly to the Most Beloved of the Worlds, until the meeting ended and the soul returned to its abode.
However, after listening to the words of God and having tasted what he wanted, no one witnessed stillness and resolution in himself. And a few days passed for him, and at each time his longing increased and his passion for God, his Creator, intensified, until he appeared at dawn one day and swept the courtyard of the house with his turban and returned and took a knife and avoided the worshipers and left the city until the shore came to the shore. He stood on the way to the house, taking his beard with one hand and cutting his throat with another hand, for the love of God, the Almighty, the Dominant, the Subsisting. So a noise arose among the people and a shout rose from all souls, and a great many people gathered around him[370], and they saw that the knife was in his hand and he placed his hand on his chest, so the whole existence was baffled by that, then the people of the Most High, then the people of the cities of pride, then the people of The kingdom of names and the might of survival. And all of them prayed for him, said Allahu Akbar on his face, descended upon him, circumambulated around him, and inhaled the scents of his love. And if I remember what appeared on that day, you will not accept it and you will not be able to know, and God is witness to what I say.

However, after listening to the words of God and having tasted what he wanted, no one witnessed stillness and resolution in himself. And a few days passed for him, and at each time his longing increased and his passion for God, his Creator, intensified, until he appeared at dawn one day and swept the courtyard of the house with his turban and returned and took a knife and avoided the worshipers and left the city until the shore came to the shore. He stood on the way to the house, taking his beard with one hand and cutting his throat with another hand, for the love of God, the Almighty, the Dominant, the Subsisting. So a noise arose among the people and a shout rose from all souls, and a great many people gathered around him[370], and they saw that the knife was in his hand and he placed his hand on his chest, so the whole existence was baffled by that, then the people of the Most High, then the people of the cities of pride, then the people of The kingdom of names and the might of survival. And all of them prayed for him, said Allahu Akbar on his face, descended upon him, circumambulated around him, and inhaled the scents of his love. And if I remember what appeared on that day, you will not accept it and you will not be able to know, and God is witness to what I say.
