Ibn ʿAbbād

الوارد عبارة عما يرد على القلب من المعارف الربانية واللطائف الروحانية ليطهره بذلك ويزكيه حتى يصلح بذلك للورود عليه والدخول الى حضرته لان الحضرة منزهة عن كل قلب متكدر بالآثار متلوث باقذار الاغيار

For the Presence is transcendently free (*munazzaha*) of every heart that is clouded by created traces (*āthār*) and soiled with the filth of things other than Him (*aghyār*).
