If thou dost not prefer Me above every known and unknown thing,
how canst thou relate thyself to my servanthood?
How canst thou say, “God is enough for me,” when thou restest not in the ignorance of the unknown,
even as thou restest in the knowledge of the known?
Thy seeking of Me, that I should teach thee what thou knowest not,
is like thy seeking that I should make thee ignorant of what thou knowest:
wherefore, do not seek of Me, and I shall assuredly satisfy thee.
Muhammad Ibn’Abdi’l-Jabbar Al-Niffari
