The Sufis' Evidence for Appointing Intermediaries

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Among the doubts raised by the Sufis, may Allah guide them to the truth, they say that the evidence for making intermediaries between the servant and his Lord is this verse: "So ask about it one who has knowledge." Is this evidence for them?

Answer:
"Ask about Him one who knows" means Himself, (Glorified and Exalted is He). That is, Himself, (Exalted and Majestic is He), is the most knowledgeable about Himself, (Glorified and Exalted is He). Ask Allah to read the Book of Allah, which contains His names and attributes; He is the Expert, (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is not asking about Him one who knows from among the creation. Ask Allah, (Exalted and Majestic is He), meaning that no one is an expert in Allah. No one knows everything that is of the affair of Allah, absolutely. They do not encompass Him in knowledge. Yes.
