Hadith 1

well with the immoral deed at times, and the pious deed at other (times), and the known is that the whole body is not described with these two descriptions, and there isn’t one limb in the body having been described with these two description. So there is no escaped from proving one essence being described with all of these matters. The sixth are Words of the Exalted: Surely, We Created the human being from a uniting seed. We Wanted to Try him, so We Made him hearing, seeing [76: 2]. So this is explicit that the human being is one thing, and that one thing, it is Tried with the Divine encumberments and the Lordly affairs, and he is described with the hearing and the sight; and the collection of the body isn’t like that, and there isn’t any limb from the limbs of the body like that. So the self is a thing different to the whole body, and different parts of the body, and he is the one described with these descriptions. And know that the Ahadeeth referring to the descriptions of the souls before their link with the bodies and after their separations from the bodies, are many, and all that evidence’s upon that the self is other than this body. And the astonishment is from the one reciting these many Verses, and he sees the many Ahadeeth, then he says, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww has died’, and he does not know what the soul is, and this is from the astonishments’. Then he evidenced with this Verse which it’s interpretation is based upon this doctrine, and its statement is that the soul, if it was a body, it would be transformed from a state to a state, and from a description to a description. It would have been equal to the body in its being produced from bodies described with specific descriptions after having been described with another description. So when Rasool-Allah-saww was asked about the soul, it would have obligated that he-saww describes that it is a body which was such and such, then it became such and such, until it became a soul, like what we have mentioned in the method of the generation of the body that it was a seed, then a clot, then a lump. When he-saww did not say that, but said, ‘It is from a Command of my-saww Lord-azwj’, in the meaning that it is not an occurrence, nor did it enter into the existence except for the reason that Allah-azwj the Exalted had Said to it: “Be! ” So it came into being. That evidence’s upon that it is an essence, not from the genus of the bodies, but it is a Holy essence, an abstract. And know that most of the complete agnostics, and from the companions of the experiences, and companions of the detections and the observations are insisting upon this word definitively with this doctrine’. Then he said, ‘And the deniers are arguing with aspects of the arguments. The first is, if it was equivalent to the Self of Allah-azwj Exalted in His-azwj Being, it isn’t with a body nor display, but it is equivalent to Him-azwj in the complete essence, and that is impossible. The second are Words of the Exalted: May the human be killed, what (a lot is) his Kufr! [80: 17] From which thing is his creation? [80: 18] – up to His-azwj Words: Then when He so Desires, He would Raise him [80: 22]. And this is explicit with that the human being is a thing created from a seed, and he would be dying, and he will enter the grave. Then the Exalted will Extract him from the grave, and if the human being did not happen to be an expression of this corpse, the situations would not have been Mentioned in this correct Verse. The third are Words of the Exalted: And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead; but they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3: 169]. Rejoicing [3: 170] – and this evidence’s upon that the soul is a body because the sustenance and the joy is from the bodily descriptions. And the answer about the first is that the equivalencein that it is not biased and there is no condition in the biased the equality in negative attributes, and equality in negative attri
