-- provisional translation by Moojan Momen
He is the All-Glorious!
O you who are clinging fast to the hem of Covenant, your
letter was read and your detailed questions were noted. Although calamities,
like deadly poison, have affected my limbs, my members and my joints, such that
my pen is prevented from writing and my tongue from speaking, and my tasks are
so many that it is not possible to describe them, yet nevertheless, out of the
great love that this servant has for that gentleman, a spiritual answer will be
given, which will be compatible with Divine wisdom, concise and illuminating,
perfectly explaining the matter. It will be a comprehensive explanation
concerning this question and will contain acceptable and sought-after insights
such that by this explanation, clarification, analysis, allusion, commentary
and spiritual interpretation, one hundred doors will be opened up by each of
its doors. Otherwise, were the horizons to become pages, it would not be enough
to encompass [this theme].
