Therefore, in the court of the Sultan's justice, one should not be content with the words of the claimant, and in the distinction that separates the truth from falsehood, it says "O you who believe! if an evil-doer comes to you with a report, look carefully into it, lest you harm a people in ignorance, then be sorry for what you have done." (49:6) And in the noble Hadith it is narrated, "Do not believe the talebearer." Some of the scholars have doubted this issue and have not seen this servant, and those souls who have met him bear witness that this servant has not spoken except by the command of God in the Book, and by mentioning this blessed verse calling on His Excellency: "Do you punish us for nothing more than that we believed in God, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed before?" (5:70)
