I put my trust in our Lord al-Ḥākim, the One worshipped. We point to Him alone in declaring unity.
The names applied to my master, the Qāʾim al-Zamān (the Riser of the Age), are these. First: the Cause of Causes. Second: the True Predecessor. Third: the Command. Fourth: Dhū Maʿa ('the one endowed with maʿa'). Fifth: the Will. His spiritual designation is the Universal Intellect. His bodily name is Ḥamza ibn ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad, Guide of the Respondents and Avenger against the Associators through the sword of our Lord, exalted be He, and the strength of His sovereignty.
After him comes the Universal Soul: the Pure and Well-Pleasing Proof, the Enoch of his time, the Idrīs of the age, the Hermes of the Hermeses, the Chosen Shaykh—these are his spiritual names. His bodily name is Abū Ibrāhīm Ismāʿīl ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥāmid al-Tamīmī, the missionary.
After him comes the Word: the Well-Pleasing Shaykh, Envoy of Power, Pride of the Unitarians, Bearer of Glad Tidings to the Believers, Pillar of the Respondents, and their Supreme Word—his spiritual titles. His bodily name is Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Wahb al-Qurashī, the missionary.
After him comes the Right Wing: the Chosen Shaykh, Order of the Respondents and Glory of the Unitarians—his spiritual titles. His bodily name is Abū al-Khayr Salāma ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Sāmirī, the missionary.
After him comes the Left Wing: the Shaykh al-Muqtanā, Bahāʾ al-Dīn, Tongue of the Believers, Support of the Unitarians and Counselor of all creation—his spiritual titles. His bodily name is Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Ṭāʾī al-Samūqī, the missionary.
On recognizing the four sacred ones:
Their names are Ismāʿīl, Muḥammad, Salāma and ʿAlī. Their patronymics are Abū Ibrāhīm, Abū ʿAbd Allāh, Abū al-Khayr and Abū al-Ḥasan. Their stations are the Universal Soul, Envoy of Power, Right Wing and Left Wing. Their epithets are: al-Mujtabā, Elect of the Respondents and Refuge of the Unitarians; al-Murtaḍā, Pride of the Unitarians and Bearer of Glad Tidings to the Believers; al-Muṣṭafā, Order of the Respondents and Glory of the Unitarians; and Shaykh al-Muqtanā Bahāʾ al-Dīn, Tongue of the Believers and Support of the Unitarians.
Praise belongs to our Lord, God of the worlds.
Finished. Peace.
