Ibn ʿAbbād

نور اليقين المستودع فى القلوب يستمد ويتزايد ضياؤه من النور الوارد من خزائن الغيوب وهو نور الأوصاف الأزلية كما ذكرناه عن الشيخ أبى العباس المرسى رضى الله عنه قبل هذا

The light of certainty (*yaqīn*) deposited in hearts draws its supply, and its radiance grows, from the light arriving from the treasuries of the hidden realms. This is the light of the pre-eternal attributes (*al-awṣāf al-azaliyya*), as we related earlier from Shaykh Abū l-ʿAbbās al-Mursī, may God be pleased with him.
