Chapter Three The Book and the Command It is said that Ibn Rummat, may God have mercy on him, said: "The command is to send a message before the judgment."
It is a matter that is explained by God's power and His greatness, and it is a matter that is revealed to His servant.
And I am amazed that it is revealed to His servant in his time and by His power.
"For the command is permission to send, and it is the consequence of this divine matter."
This is in agreement. It is said that the poets were in agreement with him.
And some of them said that the command is not rational for the book.
And the patient ones who seek from God, by His command, what they need, and the books were in agreement with that.
"And the book was in agreement, as it were, by the command."
And the book is distinguished by the command that God guides it to its truth.
And the book is distinguished by the command, and the knowledge of the answers.
And the book was distinguished by the command, and a series of answers was organized, some of which were known, and some of which were not.
The one who was asked said: "The book is not connected to the command."
And servitude is not sound without sincerity and knowledge, nor is knowledge sound without sincerity.
Nor is desire sound without love, nor is power sound without God.
