وَ أَمَّا الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَى مَعْنَى الِاسْتِبْطَانِ لِلْأَشْيَاءِ بِأَنْ يَغُورَ فِيهَا وَ لَكِنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ عَلَى اسْتِبْطَانِهِ لِلْأَشْيَاءِ عِلْماً وَ حِفْظاً وَ تَدْبِيراً كَقَوْلِ الْقَائِلِ أَبْطَنْتُهُ يَعْنِي خَبَّرْتُهُ وَ عَلِمْتُ مَكْتُومَ سِرِّهِ وَ الْبَاطِنُ مِنَّا الْغَائِبُ فِي الشَّيْ‏ءِ الْمُسْتَتِرُ وَ قَدْ جَمَعْنَا الِاسْمَ وَ اخْتَلَفَ الْمَعْنَى And as for the Hidden (Esoteric), so it is not upon the meaning of the hidden-ness of the things, with being immersed into them, but that from Him -azwj is upon the Knowledge of the hidden things, and Preserving these, and their regulation, like the words of the man, ‘I know his inside, meaning I am informed of him and know the concealed secrets of his’.
