Purify yourself from anything other than God, then say: “In the name of God, by God, and wash with water.” And after you have finished, say: “O my God and my beloved, just as you have cleansed my outward appearance from this water, purify my heart and my heart from the soul and passion so that I may know You and be separated from the worlds.” “Then place [411] your face on the dust in submission to God, Lord of lords, say: “Oh my God and my Master, I ask you in your name by which the earthquake appeared in the tribes of the earth and the sky and the noise rose up among the crowds of creation and the souls of the doubters and the facts of the heedless were disturbed, that you forgive me My actions, which the eye of creativity has not witnessed, resembled it.
