The traveller saw, then, a thousandth part of the truths and affirmations contained in the oceans and rivers. The seas proclaim unanimously with a power proportionate to their extent, "There is no god but He," and produce as witnesses to their testimony all the creatures that inhabit them. This, our traveller preceived.
Expressing and conveying the testimony of the seas and the rivers, we said, in the Fourth Degree of the First Station:
لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ الْوَاجِبُ الْوُجُودِ الَّذ۪ى دَلَّ عَلٰى وُجُوبِ وُجُودِهِ ف۪ى وَحْدَتِهِ جَم۪يعُ الْبِحَارِ وَ الْاَنْهَارِ بِجَم۪يعِ مَا ف۪يهَا بِشَهَادَةِ عَظَمَةِ اِحَاطَةِ حَق۪يقَةِ التَّسْخ۪يرِ وَ الْمُحَافَظَةِ وَ الْاِدِّخَارِ وَ الْاِدَارَةِ الْوَاسِعَةِ الْمُنْتَظَمَةِ بِالْمُشَاهَدَةِ
