(۵۶) يَا ابْنَ الإِنْسانِ أَنْتَ تُريدُ الذَّهَبَ وَأَنا أُريدُ تَنْزيهَكَ عَنْهُ، وَأَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ غَنَاءَ نَفْسِكَ فِيهِ، وَأَنَا عَرَفْتُ الْغَناءَ فِي تَقْدِيسِكَ عَنْهُ. وَعَمْري هَذا عِلْمِي وَذلِكَ ظَنُّكَ؛ كَيْفَ يَجْتَمِعُ أَمْرِي مَعَ أَمْرِكَ.
O SON OF MAN! Thou dost wish for gold and I desire thy freedom from it. Thou thinkest thyself rich in its possession, and I recognize thy wealth in thy sanctity therefrom. By My life! This is My knowledge, and that is thy fancy; how can My way accord with thine?
