Hadith 126

e your thoughts regarding the one-asws who said it intuitively, and with brevity. And from the knowledge(s) is knowledge of interpretation of the Quran, and it is taken from him-asws and from him-asws are the branches. And when you return to the books of the interpretations, you will know the correctness of that, because most of it is from him-asws, and from Abdullah Bin Abbas, and the people have known the state of Ibn Abbas regarding his sticking to him-asws, and his cutting off (from others) to him-asws, and he is his-asws student. And it was said to him, ‘Where is your knowledge from the knowledge of the son-asws of your uncle-as? ’ He said, ‘Just like a drop from the rain to the encompassing ocean’. And from the knowledge(s) is knowledge of the ‘Tareeqah’ (methodology), and the reality, and the states of Sufism, and you know that the lords of this skill are in entirety of the cities of Al Islam. They are ending to him-asws and are pausing with him-asws. And that has been stated by Al-Shably, and Al-Juneyd, and Al-Sary, and Abu Yazeed Al-Nustamy, and Abu Mahfouz well-known as Al-Karkhy. And it should suffice you as evidence upon that, the unusual (activities) which is their slogans up to today, and their attributing these by a chain connecting to him-asws. And from the knowledge(s) is knowledge of the stars and the Arabic notations (A’raab), and he-asws had taught all the people. He-asws is the one who initiated it and spread it, and dictated it unto Abu Al-Aswad Al-Doweyli, its whole, and its principles from the total words, three things – name, and deed, and letter. And from its total is the division of the words to recognition and denial. And division of their aspects of the notations (A’raab) to the raising, and the installing (at the bottom of the letter), and the segmenting and the shortening. And this almost equates with the miracles because the strength of the humans cannot fulfil with at this limit, nor can the methodical reasoning get up with this. And if you return to the characteristics, the mannerisms and the moral merits, and the religiousness, you will find him-asws a son of its clarity and experience. As for the bravery, he-asws comforted the people during it, reminding the ones who were before him-asws and effacing the ones to come after him-asws, and his-asws standing in the war is well-known. The examples would be struck with him-asws up to the Day of Qiyamah. And he-asws is the brave, who did not flee at all, nor did he-asws panic from a battalion, nor did anyone duel to him-asws except he-asws killed him. And he-asws did not strike any strike at all so the first one was needy to the second. And in the Hadeeth, his-asws strikes were individual. And when he-asws called Muawiya to the duel for the people to be rested from the war by the killing of one of them, Amro said to him, ‘He-asws has been fair to you’. Muawiya said, ‘You have been deceiving me since the day you accompanied me, except today. Are you instructing me with duelling Abu Hassan-asws, and you well know that he-asws is the brave, the sledgehammer? I see you coveting regarding the governance of
