Indeed, you are, O Salman. Bear witness within yourself, your soul, your tongue, and all your faculties that there is no god but He, and all are His servants and all worship Him. Then, O Salman, submit yourself to the command of God and to what is ordered in the Book, and do not be among the heedless. Then recognize the value of those days and do not forget the favor in yourself, and be among the grateful. Then cut yourself off from your desires so that God may grant you His bounty that will save you from the worlds, and beware lest you deprive yourself of the breaths of this spirit, for this is indeed a clear loss. Then draw near to God, the Ever-Living, the All-Mighty, the Ancient, by your perfection. Say, "This is a chapter of the chapters of God that has appeared by virtue of His grace, and nothing will change it from what is in the heavens and the earth." Say, "By God, this is the spring that has adorned Paradise with its embroidery, and after it there will be no autumn in the everlasting abode. Indeed, this chapter is unmatched by any other chapter on the earth, for it has taken shelter in the shade of the Great Ali."
