the trick of familiarity is that everyone who is called to it agrees with the actions that he and those his soul is inclined to do. the first thing that familiarity does by observing what agrees with the belief of the one being called in his law. they have prescribed for the callers and authorized persons that they should make their nights stay with one of the respondent and they should strive to bring along someone who has a pleasant voice in reciting the quran so that he can recite with them for a period of time. then the caller follows all of that with some gentle speech and some gentle sermons that touch the hearts. then he accompanies that with criticism of… sultans scholars of the time and ignorant common people. he mentions that relief is awaited from all of that through the blessing of the family of the messenger of god may god bless him and grant him peace. and in between that he sometimes cries and sighs of relief. and if he mentions a verse or news he mentions that god has a secret in his words that no one can know except those whom god has chosen from among his creation and distinguished with his increased kindness. so if he is able to stay up at night praying and crying when the owner of the house is absent so that the owner of the house can see him then if he feels that he has seen him he returns to his bed and lies down like someone who intends to hide his worship. all of that is so that familiarity with him becomes established and the heart inclines toward him. listening to his words is the level of familiarity.
اما حيلة التأنيس فهو ان يوافق كل من هو بدعوته في أفعال يتعطاها هو ومن تميل اليه نفسه واول ما يفعل الانس بالمشاهدة على ما يوافق اعتقاد المدعو في شرعه وقد رسموا للدعاة والمأذونين ان يجعلوا مبيتهم كل ليلة عند واحد من المستجيبين ويجتهدون في استصحاب من له صوت طيب في قراءة القرآن ليقرأ عندهم زمانا ثم يتبع الداعي ذلك كله بشئ من الكلام الرقيق واطراف من المواعظ اللطيفة الآخذه بمجامع القلوب ثم يردف ذلك بالطعن في السلاطين وعلماء الزمان وجهال العوام ويذكر ان الفرج منتظر من كل ذلك ببركة اهل بيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو فيما بين ذلك يبكي احيانا ويتنفس الصعداء واذا ذكر آية او خبرا ذكر ان لله سرا في كلماته لا يطلع عليها إلا من اجتباه الله من خلقه وميزه بمزيد لطفه فان قدر على ان يتهجد بالليل مصليا وباكيا عند غيبة صاحب البيت بحيث يطلع عليه صاحب البيت ثم اذا احس بانه اطلع عليه عاد الى مبيته واضطجع كالذي يقصد اخفاء عبادته وكل ذلك ليستحكم الانس به ويميل القلب الى الاصغاء الى كلامه فهذه هي مرتبة التأنيس
