(6). – The Conjugation and Dissolution on the Mysteries of the Meanings of Quran

al-jamʿ wa-l-tafṣīl fī asrār maʿānī al-ṭanzīl - (الجمع والتفصيل في أسرار معاني التنزيل)

I completed it up to His, the Almighty, saying [in Surah al-Kahf]: “And when Moses said to his boy, I will not leave.” [Quran 18:60]. I do not think that anyone on Earth has ever worked on (the interpretation of) Qur’an in this manner, [page 189a] where I arranged the discussion in it on each verse on three stations: first the station of majesty (maqām al-jalāl), then the station of beauty (maqām al-jamāl), and then the station of moderation (maqām al-iʿtidāl), which is the isthmus, that is the complete Muhammadan inheritance, and it is the place of perfection. So I take the verse from the station of majesty and prestige, and speak on it until I refer it to that place with the gentlest reference and the best phrase. Then I take it itself and speak on it from the station of beauty, which counterpoise the first station, until I bring it back as though it was revealed in that particular station. Then, finally, I take that particular verse and speak on it in the station of perfection with words that do not resemble the two previous aspects, and in this regard I speak about the mysteries of letters, words and the small-letters, which are the accents, the living and the dead serenity - if there is anything of that -, the proportions, additions, signs, and the like. Then, after finish it, I move to the next verse. There is no single phrase in it from anyone else at all, unless by way of example, then it is possible, but that is very rare.

(10). – The Heptads Mentioned in the Qur’an

al-musabbaʿāt al-wārida fī al-Qurʾān - (المسبعات الواردة في القرآن)

jalāʾ al-qulūb (fī asrār ʿallam al-guyūb) - (جلاء القلوب (في أسرار علام الغيوب))

A wonderful incident happened about this book, and that's when I composed it, each of our companions took a booklet of it or two to read it. As for the preface, it was about twenty papers or so. Hence, we went out one night outside the country with a group of our companions, so we sat on a hill, looking at it, and it was one of the most creative subjects! When we finished reading it, we put it on the ground. Inexplicably, it was seized away (in front of our eyes), and I do not know who took it; a jinn or some unseen human! I have not known what happened to it until now. As for the rest of the book, I did not collect it after that, and everyone who had something from it did never return it to me, so it was destroyed. That was what happened!

These are the deposited book, and I don’t know whether something went out of my mind, because the incident is outdated and my thinking was not directed to it happened in the past, wary of running out of time. [This may indicate that these works were written before his arrival to the East, i.e. before the year 598 AH / 1200 AD. However, we also note that some of these books that were missing at the time of writing this Index are already present now, while most others are still missing, especially the book of the Conjugation and Dissolution (6), which is considered a unique treasure of Quran interpretation or exegesis, according to the Sheikh's description of it.]
