The student: Had there been no competition.
The Shaykh : Competition is acceptable in appearance, meaning, had there been no mutual aggression among the creation, yes, in truth.
The student: Shall we write it down?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Had this not been the case, separation would never have been in the reckoning; the people would have been one community. But they engaged in mutual aggression and thus separated, or they competed and thus differed. Yes.
