And when his Lord tested Abraham with certain words, that is, with the levels of spiritual concepts such as the heart, mysteries, the spirit, the hidden, Oneness, the states and the stations that are used to articulate these levels, such as submission, reliance, satisfaction and the sciences of these [levels], and he fulfilled them, by wayfaring to God and in God up to annihilation. He said, 'I am making you for the people a leader', through subsistence after annihilation and the return from the Truth to creatures, to lead them and guide them how to wayfare to Me so that they follow your lead and become guided. Said he, 'And of my seed?', in other words, and also make some of my descendants leaders. He said, some of them could be evildoers and 'My covenant shall not reach the evildoers', that is, they shall not be My viceregents and I shall not promise leadership to evildoers.
