Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah

“ Peace of Allah the sublime, the high, be with them till the Day of Resurrection.
Let's get to it. O men, the promises, exhortations and threats which the director of your business, the Imam of your century, the successor of your prophets, the discussion of your creator and his assistant, who will testify against you because of your sins and all that you have committed, you have recieved in the past, containing a warning and a reprimand enough for those who listen, obey and choose to be guided, while the soul struggles against the passions, prefers that which is beyond the earthly world. ”

“ Indeed, adversity strikes the unjust, rebel demons, vicious renegades, despicable liars, traitors, tyrannical, despotic and corrupt men, adversaries and hypocrites, who deny the Day of Resurrection and incur the wrath of God, the lost, Praise be to Allah. The faithful appreciate him with praise that never comes to term, but continues to all eternity. ”

“ May Allah bless the master of emissaries, Muhammad, who was sent with the Qur'an for all creatures, as a message and warning, through the go-between of his progeny, of the Imams who guide and are guided, noble scribes, witnesses against humans to explain to men the matters on which they wonder and are divided, to lead them to the solemn announcement of the Right Way. ”
