These Alif, Mim, Ha and Mim, O father, If you have sense, regard not in the same way as these Every ordinary Alif and Lam which resembles these; Although these sacred letters consist of common ones, Muhammad himself was formed of flesh and skin, He had flesh and skin and bones, Although no man resembles him in composition; Because in his composition were contained divine powers, In like manner the composition of the letters Ha, Mim Is far exalted above ordinary compounds of letters;

He hath formed, weighed, transmuted, composed, and created with these twenty-two letters every living being, and every soul yet uncreated.

For in thy Flesh and Blood thou art not able to apprehend it, and though thou readest it, yet it is but as a Fume or Mist before thine Eyes.
