he said yes. hamdan said and by whose command do you act? the caller said by the command of my owner and your owner and to whom belongs the world and the hereafter? hamdan said that is it. then he is the lord of the worlds. the caller said you have spoken the truth but god grants his kingdom to whomever he wills. hamdan said and what is your purpose in the spot to which you are heading? he said i have been commanded to call its people from ignorance to knowledge from misguidance to guidance and from misery to happiness and to rescue them from the pitfalls of humiliation and poverty and to give them what they need to do without toil and fatigue. hamdan said to him rescue me and god will rescue you and bestow upon me from knowledge what will make me love it. by it how much i need something like what you mentioned. the caller said i was not ordered to reveal the secret that is kept by everyone except after trusting him and making a covenant with him. hamdan said what is your covenant? mention it to me for i am committed to it. the caller said make for me and for the imam a covenant and pledge from god that the secret of the imam that i have given you will not be revealed and that you will not divulge my secret either.
قال نعم قال حمدان وبأمر من تعمل فقال الداعي بامر مالكي ومالكك ومن له الدنيا والآخرة فقال حمدان ذلك إذن هو رب العالمين فقال الداعي صدقت ولكن الله يهب ملكه لمن يشاء قال حمدان وما غرضك في البقعة التي انت متوجه اليها قال امرت أن ادعو اهلها من الجهل الى العلم ومن الضلال الى الهدى ومن الشقاوة الى السعادة وان استنقذهم من ورطات الذل والفقر واملكهم ما يستغنون به عن الكد والتعب فقال له حمدان انقذني انقذك الله وافض علي من العلم ما يحببني به فما اشد احتياجي الى مثل ما ذكرته فقال الداعي وما امرت بان اخرج السر المخزون لكل احد الا بعد الثقة به والعهد عليه فقال حمدان وما عهدك فاذكره لي فاني ملتزم له فقال الداعي ان تجعل لي وللإمام على نفسك عهد الله وميثاقه ان لا يخرج سر الإمام الذي ألقيته اليك ولا تفشي سري أيضا
