Statements of Hazrat Muhy-ud-dīn Ibn ‘Arabī rh 177
This verse shows that he will be instructed through
the spiritual power of the Holy Prophet sa , and will, in
this sense, be one of the companions. This verse is
further explained by the hadīth:
وaانaالاانaاaباثر اaاہaرجلaنaارس‎183‎
Here the quality which was particularized in the
Promised Messiah and Mahdī has been attributed to
this man from Persia. This quality is to replenish the
earth with justice after it has been filled with
wrongdoing and has become empty of faith and the
belief in the Unity of God. Thus, this man is the
Promised Messiah and Mahdī; and I am he.
Just as the prophesied eclipse of the sun and the
moon in the month of Ramadān has not occurred
during the time of any other person claiming to be
Mahdi, likewise, during the thirteen hundred years
that have elapsed since the time of the Holy
Prophet sa , no one has claimed, on the basis of divine
revelation, to be ‘the Man of Persia’ about whom the
hadīth says that he will bring faith down from
heaven. 184
To clarify this issue further, the Promised Messiah as explains the
grammatical structure of the related verses to prove the
soundness of his commentary in the following quotation:
183
Had faith ascended to the Pleiades, it would be brought down by aman
from among the Persians. [Publisher]
