Ibn ʿAbbād

خرق العوائد بانكشاف عالم القدرة لايكرم الحق تعالى به الا من خرق عوائد نفسه وفنى عن ارادته وحظوظه فمن لم يصل الى هذه المقامات لايطمع فيها

The breaking of habitual norms (*kharq al-ʿawāʾid*), through the unveiling of the world of divine power (*ʿālam al-qudra*), is something with which the Real (*al-Ḥaqq*), exalted is He, honors only one who has broken the habits of his own self and has passed away (*faniya*) from his own will (*irāda*) and his selfish portions (*ḥuẓūẓ*). So whoever has not attained these stations (*maqāmāt*) should not aspire to it.
