إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ خَلِيلًا لِتَخَلُّلِهِ وَحَصْرِهِ جَمِيعَ مَا اتَّصَفَتْ بِهِ الذَّاتُ الإِلَهِيَّةُ . …

Which case is this word in?

The passage in English

He was named 'Intimate Friend' (khalīl) only because he permeated (takhallul) and encompassed all the attributes with which the divine Essence is qualified. The poet said: 'You have permeated the pathway of the spirit within me, / and by this the intimate friend (khalīl) was named khalīl.' [It is] as color permeates the colored thing, so that the accident is wherever its substance is, not as place and what occupies a place. Or [he was so named] because the Real permeated the existence of the form of Abraham. Each of these judgments is valid, for every judgment has a domain in which it becomes manifest and which it does not exceed. Do you not see that the Real becomes manifest with the attributes of temporally originated things, and has informed [us] of this about Himself, and [even] with attributes of deficiency and attributes of blame? Do you not see that the creature becomes manifest with the attributes of the Real, from the first of them to the last, and all of them belong to it by right (ḥaqq), just as the attributes of temporally originated things belong by right (ḥaqq) to the Real?
