among bodies—as in the words of the Most High, “And if there is only one, she will have half” [al-Nisā’ 11], and His words, “Leave Me with the one whom I created alone” {11} [al-Muddaththir 11], and similar passages—is one body, one entity occupying space, and is in a direction. Yet it is not divided in the first sense, since something divided in the first sense must number two or more, like water when people divide it among themselves, or the apportioned shares, one of which is allotted to each gate of Hell.

If this holds for things that admit division, such as a human being and whatever humans are capable of dividing, then it holds all the more for things that do not admit division. This is evident, perceptible, self-evident, and undisputed. No one has disputed that a large body whose parts have not been separated from one another and placed in two distinct spaces—or for which such separation is impossible—does not have to be the size of an indivisible atom merely because it is described as undivided. Rather, it may be of immense size and magnitude.
