So if they dispute with you say: “I have surrendered my countenance to God and whoever follows me”: and say to those who have been given the scripture and to the uninstructed: “Have you submittedḍ” And so if they have submitted they have been guided but if they turn their backs your duty is only to deliver; and God sees His servants. “Look at them through the eye of [God's] free disposal taṣrīf so that your state does not become unsettled at the differences and the disparity of their stages. One who looks at created beings through the eye of [God's] delib- erative power qudra knows that the One who determines for all based on what He has chosen for each is One. Call them publicly when in public and bear witness privately to Our free disposal taṣrīf with regard to them when in private.” Occupy your tongue by counseling them but empty your heart of their talk and separate your innermost self from witnessing them for We have not charged you with their affairs [but only] with deliver[ing] [the message]. The One who brings about affairs and originates is Us.”
