16
In the fourth Psalm of the Zabur, it says:
"Let those who put their trust in You rejoice forever; let them be glad—He will dwell within them, and they will glory."
This makes it clear that He "dwells" in all the righteous, meaning His knowledge and His love, for they are unanimously agreed that the Essence of Allah does not indwell the righteous themselves.
Similarly, in the Epistles of John the Evangelist:
"If we love one another, we know that Allah abides in us,"
that is, through His love—and there are many other passages conveying the same sense.
وَفِي الْمَزْمُورِ الرَّابِعِ مِنَ الزَّبُورِ عِنْدَهُمْ يَقُولُ:
(وَلِيُفْرِحَ الْمُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَى الْأَبَدِ وَيَبْتَهِجُونَ وَيَحُلُّ فِيهِمْ وَيَفْتَخِرُونَ)
فَأَخْبَرَ أَنَّهُ يَحُلُّ فِي جَمِيعِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ، أَيْ مَعْرِفَتُهُ وَمَحَبَّتُهُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ مُتَّفِقُونَ عَلَى أَنَّ ذَاتَ اللَّهِ لَمْ تَحُلَّ فِي الصِّدِّيقِينَ،
وَكَذَلِكَ فِي رَسَائِلِ يُوحَنَّا الْإِنْجِيلِيِّ:
(إِذَا أَخْفَى بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَلْبَثُ فِينَا)
أَيْ مَحَبَّتَهُ، وَنَظَائِرُهُ كَثِيرَةٌ.
