Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of Creation from the evil of what He has created, from the evil of darkness when it approaches, from the evil of people who are stuck in knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies.” Explicit: The answers to your question have ended, O brothers from the jinn, so ponder over them and look carefully, and if you succeed in anything, then consult me or consult others who know, and I have answered you with the due time... and I ask forgiveness May God protect us from every sin committed by the pillars or danger to Paradise.
