And after that, as for the messenger of our master, may He be exalted, to the House of the Caliphate, when he reached Baghdad, he found it full of soldiers and troops. And it was Rajab, which they call Rajab the Individual, and he entered the House of the Caliphate day by day, and that day was Friday. When he arrived, he stood before him and greeted him, and he returned the greeting. Then he asked about the condition of his brother and how his caliphate was going, and whether he was pleased with him or not. So he said to him, 'O my master, your brother sends you greetings and says to you, O my brother, if you want the caliphate, then leave it to me, and if you want the world, then it is yours.' When al-Ma'mun heard that, he wept intensely until his beard was soaked with tears, and he said, 'O messenger of God, what is this talk that you are saying? My brother knows that there is nothing in my heart but love, affection, and brotherhood. I do not want the caliphate, nor do I want the world, except for his safety and his comfort.' When the messenger heard that, his heart was eased, and he said to him, 'O my master, your brother loves you dearly, and he longs for you very much.' So al-Ma'mun rejoiced at that and wrote him a letter and prepared him gifts, rarities, and wealth, a very great amount, and sent it with the messenger. When the messenger reached al-Amin and handed him the letter and he read what was in it, he rejoiced greatly and said, 'Praise be to God.'

Preacher S S ⟦...⟧ Saharan etc. ⟦...⟧ He said: The community has ceased, but we all surround your side and listen to you. And the K.M. used to go to the geese and Muhammad would listen to his words regarding the Torah, but M. desisted from that and fled back and died without a word. King David, peace be upon him, said: – Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; ears You have opened for me; burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask. Then I said: Behold, I come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me. To do Your will, my God, I have desired, and Your Torah is within my heart. I have preached righteousness in a great congregation; behold, I will not restrain my lips, and You know, etc. And from that it is understood – That God, may He be exalted, wants the heart. And that is because David, peace be upon him, said: Sacrifice and offering You did not desire. And in this there is a strange story, which is that David knew through the Holy Spirit that a time would come when the sacrifices would be abolished and people would leave them. So he said: O Lord of the Worlds, who will be in that time and not offer a sacrifice, and what will be his state? So God, may He be exalted, answered and said: O David, I want the heart – And it happened that this time was the time of Mordecai and Esther. Haman the wicked, may his name and memory be blotted out, it is written: And it was contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him the people of Mordecai; and Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai.

Regarding the matter 'he who digs a pit shall fall into it' it hints at the Holy One Also 'and he who strikes his father and his mother' And besides this, there is reason to say why it was written In the portion 'These are the judgments' in the singular form 'which thou shalt set before them' in the plural, when it should have said 'which thou shalt set before them these judgments' and also why it is not written 'And these are the judgments which thou shalt set for them' And furthermore that it is written 'before them' and not before idolaters, which implies that these monetary laws are not judged by idolaters at all, and yet it is impossible to say so, for there is 'the law of the kingdom is law' Israel has no power to judge monetary laws and even in all the laws of the idolaters, except for capital cases meaning if an Israelite killed a person they judge him but other monetary laws they are judged according to our religion and law and if so, what is 'before them' and not before idolaters And it is possible to say by way of a hint that 'these judgments which thou shalt set before them' initials are Aleph which hints to the Holy One Blessed be He who is called Aleph, the Master of the world And the intention in this is to show that 'judgment belongs to God' that whoever judges a true judgment in its truth becomes a partner to the Holy One in the work of creation, as it is said 'And there was evening and there was morning one day' and there it is said 'And they shall judge the people with righteous judgment' and this is the hint of Aleph which means a partner to the Holy One ⟦...⟧ ⟦...⟧ And a hint to this matter is that the name 'Ehyeh' with the filling of Yods is the Gematria with the kollel of the sum 'for judgment belongs to God' And it further hints that 'for judgment belongs to God' is the final letters

In the second part of the commentary on the book Guide for the Perplexed composed by the virtuous sage, Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, of blessed memory. The words of Sheikh Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi in the book The Divine Science. He said that pleasure is the relief from pain, and pleasure is not something positive, but rather it is only the cessation of pain. This is because the sensory organ is never free from either pain or pleasure. When it departs from its natural state, pain occurs to it; and when it returns to its natural state, it experiences pleasure. Thus, the departure from the natural state is pain, and the return to the natural state is pleasure. So pleasure follows pain and alternates with it. And Aristotle said in the book Physics in the second treatise of it, he said that time is the number of motion according to before and after. And he said in the book On the Heavens, and he also said in the book Metaphysics in the treatise Lambda of it, he said that pleasure is an activity of action and natural love; it follows sensation, and love follows pleasure. Pleasure exists through action, action through potentiality, potentiality through matter, and matter through form. This is because every form is not free from hyle (matter), and hyle is not free from form. And he also said at the end of the book Physics
