The Greatest Master Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi

Muhammad the Messenger, may Allah bestow blessings and peace upon him, once reported:

Allah Most High created the world, and when He had completed it, the womb of the mothers rose up and proclaimed: "I am the spiritual station of whoever seeks refuge in You from separation and division."

Allah responded: Yes, you are the exalted station. I will unify Myself with those who are unified with you, and I will veil Myself from those who reject You. You are content with My Decision?

"Yes, I am fully content," mystic motherhood replied.

The messenger of Allah, may Divine Peace be upon him, then commented:

Recite with sincerity these blessed words from the Holy Book if you wish to avoid separation and division: "Would anyone invested with genuine authority cause disorder on earth or sever the sacred ties of kinship? Those who act this way are chastened by Allah with spiritual deafness and blindness. Why do these persons fail to meditate on the Quranic teachings? Are there locks on their hearts?"

*This hadith, collected by the sage Muslim, comes from the transmission of the noble intimate companion Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him.
