  • If there be no pair of scales, how shall the litigant escape from disputing when he suspects fraud and deceit? 1215
  • (If), then, there is all this jealousy and litigation and injustice in respect of this foul faithless carcase,
  • How, then, must it be when genies and men become envious in respect of that fortune and felicity (hereafter)?
  • Truly those devils are envious of old: never for a moment do they cease from waylaying;
  • And the sons of Adam who have sown (the seed of) disobedience—they too have become devils from enviousness.
  • Read in the Qur’án how by Divine transformation the devils of mankind have become homogeneous with the Devil. 1220
  • When the Devil fails to tempt (any one), he seeks aid from these human (devils).
  • Saying, ‘Ye are my friends: (perform) an act of friendship towards me; ye are on my side: (perform) an act of partiality.’
  • If they waylay any one in the world, both kinds of devils come off rejoicing;
  • And if any one has saved his soul and become eminent in religion, those two jealous (parties) keep up lamentation.
  • Both gnash their teeth in envy at any one upon whom the (spiritual) Teacher has bestowed wisdom.” 1225
  • How the king asked the man who claimed to be a prophet, saying, “The person who is a true Messenger (of God) and becomes established (as such)—what has he to give to any one, or what gifts will people obtain by consorting with him and serving him, except the counsel which he utters with his tongue?”
  • The king questioned him, saying, “After all, what is inspiration, or what has he got who is a prophet?”
  • He replied, “What is there indeed that he has not got, or what fortune is left whereunto he has not attained?
  • I will suppose (for argument's sake) that this prophetic inspiration is not a treasurer (of Divine Revelations); still, it is not inferior to the inspiration in the heart of the bee.
  • Since (the words) God hath inspired the bee have come (in the Qur’án), the dwelling-place of its (the bee's) inspiration has been filled with sweets.
  • Through the light of the inspiration of God the Almighty and Glorious, it filled the world with wax and honey. 1230
  • This one who is (the object of) We have honored the sons of Adam (and) is ever going upward––how should his inspiration be inferior to (that of) the bee?"
  • Have not you read (the words) We have given thee Kawthar? Why, then, are you dry and why have you remained thirsty?
  • Or perchance you are (like) Pharaoh, and for you Kawthar, like the Nile, has turned to blood and (become) impure, O sick man.
  • Repent, renounce every enemy (of God) who hath not the water of Kawthar in his cup.
  • Whomsoever you see flushed (with joy) by Kawthar, he hath the nature of Mohammed: consort with him, 1235
  • That at the Reckoning you may become (one of those who) love for God's sake; for with him are apples from the tree of Ahmad (Mohammed).
  • Whomsoever you see with lips unmoistened by Kawthar, always deem him an enemy like death and fever,
  • Though ’tis your father or your mother; for in truth he is a drinker of your blood.
  • Learn these ways of acting from the Friend of God (Abraham), who first renounced his father,
