The reader: "Chapter: And this is the first establishment of the council of arbitration
So sit then in the council of the two judges for the *** Merciful, not for the self and Satan
The first is the correct transmission, and after it the *** clear intellect and the fitrah of the Merciful
So judge then in a company that has traveled *** seeking the Creator of these universes
So they traveled together in their journey and separated *** when the paths diverged at the crossroads
So a group came and then said: I found it *** this very existence, by sight and direct observation"
The Shaykh : This very existence
The reader: "So a group came and then said: I found it *** this very existence, by sight and direct observation
There is no existent other than Him, and only *** the tongue erred when it said: two existents
So He is the sky itself and its stars *** and likewise the celestial spheres and the two moons
And He is the cloud itself and the snow and the *** rains with cold and with "
The Shaykh : cold
The reader: "And He is the cloud itself and the snow and the *** rains with cold and with hail
And He is the air itself and the water and the *** heavy earth and the soul of the one with fire
These are His simples, and from Him were composed *** these appearances; there are not two things here
And He is the needy for them for the sake of His manifestation *** in them, like the need of the spirit for the bodies
And they are the ones who became needy for Him because He *** is their essence and their true existence
And they continue to put it on and take it off, and this *** is creation and annihilation at every moment
And He continues to put them on and take them off, and this *** is the ruling of the appearances so that He may be seen by direct observation"
The Shaykh : so that He may be seen
The reader:"And He continues to put them on and take them off, and this *** is the ruling of the appearances so that He may be seen by direct observation "
The Shaykh : ...
The reader: "And the existents multiply like the limbs in the *** "
The Shaykh : And the existents multiply
The reader: "And the existents multiply like the limbs in the *** perceptible, of humans and of animals
Or like the powers in the soul, that is one *** multiplied, by which the two matters stand
So it becomes a universal, and these are its parts *** this is the claim of the one who asserts gnosis
Or that it is like the multiplication of species in *** a genus, as the second group said"
The Shaykh : Or that it is like multiplication, a copy they made, a copy.
The reader: "Or that it is like the multiplication of species in *** a genus, as the second group said
So it becomes a universal and its particulars *** this existence, so these are two sayings
One of them is the text of the Fusus, and after it *** the saying of Ibn Sabin"
The Shaykh : Sabin
The reader: "One of them is the text of the Fusus, and after it *** the saying of Ibn Sabin, and what are the two sayings
With al-'A'iff al-Tilimsani, who *** is the limit in disbelief and slander
Except from errors in sense and in *** illusion, and that is the nature of man
And everything is one in its own self *** there is no authority for multiplicity in it
So the guest and the food are one thing *** and the illusion calculates "
The Shaykh : calculates
And the reader: "So the guest and the food are one thing *** and the illusion calculates here two things
And likewise the one who is mounted is the very act of mounting, and the *** distant illusion says: these are two "
The Shaykh : these are two, these are two
The reader: "And likewise the one who is mounted is the very act of mounting, and the *** distant illusion says: these are two
And perhaps they said his saying, just as *** he said their saying without distinction " .
So sit then in the council of the two judges for the *** Merciful, not for the self and Satan
The first is the correct transmission, and after it the *** clear intellect and the fitrah of the Merciful
