Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Adab as-Salat: The Disciplines of the Prayer Second Revised Edition On Some Disciplines Of Naming [Tasmiyah] In At-Tawhīd , quoting Imām ar-Ridā (' a ), it is stated that when he was asked to explain the bismillāh , he said: “When one says “ bismillāh ” (in the name of Allah), he means: I put on myself a simah (mark) of Allah's simah s, which is worship.” Asked: “What is simah ?” He said: “It is the mark.”[^1] Do know may Allah make you and me of those who bear Allah's marks that to enter in the stage of tasmiyah (naming or marking) is not easy for the sālik before entering first the stage of ist'ādhah and completing the steps of this stage.

As long as man is under the control of Satan and his authority, he is marked with satanic marks. If man's inside and outside were completely overcome by Satan, he would in all his stages be a sign or a mark of Satan. If, in this instance, man uttered the tasmiyah , he would be uttering it by Satan's will, power and tongue, and from his tasmiyah and isti'ādhah there would be no result except confirming the Satanic authority.

If, with Allah's help, he woke up from his negligence, and came to conscience, and understood the necessity of continuing the journey to Allah within the station [ manzil ] of wakefulness through the divine disposition and the lights of the Qur'anic teachings and the traditions of the guides along the road of tawhīd , and his heart recognized the obstacles on the road, there would appear in him a state [ hāl ] of isti'ādhah , and then, with the support of Allah, he would enter the station [ manzil ] of isti'ādhah .

When he got purified from the satanic filths, the divine lights would be manifested in the mirror of the sālik in proportion to the extent of his purifying his inside and outside.
