  • “Come hither,” said he, “do not (lose thy wits); hark, come to thyself, for there are (great) things to be done with thee here.”
  • He threw water on his face, and he (the infidel) began to speak, saying, “O witness of God, recite the Testimony (profession of the Faith),
  • That I may bear witness (to its truth) and go forth (from unbelief): I am weary of this (unreal) existence and will go into the wilderness (of reality).”
  • In this court of the Judge who pronounces the Decree we are (present) for the purpose of (making good) our claim (to fulfil the covenant signified by the words) “Am not I (your Lord)?” and “Yea”;
  • For we said, “Yea,” and (since we are) on trial our acts and words are the (necessary) witnesses and evidence of that (assent). 175
  • Wherefore do we keep silence in the court of the Judge? Have not we come (here) to bear testimony?
  • How long, O witness, wilt thou remain under detention in the court of the Judge? Give thy testimony betimes.
  • Thou hast been summoned hither that thou mayst give the testimony and show no disobedience;
  • (But) in thy obstinacy thou hast sat down and closed (both) hand and mouth in this confinement.
  • Until thou give that testimony, O witness, how wilt thou escape from this court? 180
