Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Third Fascicle

It is written in Durr-ul-mukhtâr’s annotations written by
Tahtâwî and Ibni ’Âbidîn, in the final parts of their last chapters:
“It is makrûh to dispute on something which a person does not
have to know. It is not permissible to ask about things you are not
commanded to know. For example, ‘Were Luqman and
Zulqarnayn Prophets, or not?’ ‘How did Jabrâil come to
Prophets?’ ‘In what guise do angels and genies show themselves to
men?’ ‘When they appear in human form, are they still genies and
angels?’ ‘Where are Paradise and Hell?’ ‘When will Doomsday
happen?’ ‘When will Îsâ ‘’alaihissalâm’ descend from Heaven?’
‘Who is better, Ismâ’îl or Is’haq ‘’alaihim-as-salâm’? Which one
was sacrificed?’ ‘Who is higher, Fâtima or ’Âisha ‘radiy-Allâhu
ta’âlâ ’anhumâ’?’ ‘In what religion were Rasûlullah’s ‘sall-Allâhu
’alaihi wa sallam’ parents and Abû Tâlib?’ ‘Who was Ibrâhîm’s
‘’alaihissalâm’ father?’ One should not ask questions like these.
We are not commanded to know them.”

Let us quote the
hadîth-i-sherîfs concerning the exorcizing of spirits from the
epileptic person and his healing: [The following information is
provided under entry ‘jinn’ in Lughat-i-Nâjî: “There are three
groups of Rûhâniyyûn (spiritual beings): The first group consists of
creatures who always do good, i.e. angels. Evil creatures who
always do evil, i.e. devils, satans. The middling group which
contains creatures who do both good and evil, i.e. genies. Please
scan (the twenty-sixth article of the ninth chapter of the sixth
fascicle of Endless Bliss and also) the second fundamental of îmân
in the book entitled Îmân and Islam.]
Imâm-i Bayhaki says in his book entitled Delâil-un-nubuwwa
and Imâm-i Qurtubî in his book Tadhkira that Abû Dujâna ‘radiy-
Allâhu ta’âlâ ’anh’ said: “I was lying down, when I heard a noise
like the noise of a mill or that of the leaves of a tree and saw a flash
like lightning. I raised my head to see something black that was
rising in the middle of the room. I felt it with my hand. It was like
a porcupine’s skin. It began to throw things like sparks at my face.
At once I went to Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ and
told him what had happened. He said, ‘O Abâ Dujâna! May Allah
give your home goodness and barakat!’ He asked for a pen and a
piece of paper. He had Alî ‘radiy-Allâhu ’anh’ write a letter. I took
the letter to my home. I put it under my head and went to sleep. A
