will
forgive him his transgressions. And whoso saith in Akka: 'I beg
forgiveness of God,' God will forgive all his trespasses. And he that
remembereth God in Akka at morn and at eventide, in the night-season and
at dawn, is better in the sight of God than he who beareth swords, spears
and arms in the path of God--exalted be He!"

The Apostle of God--may the blessings of God and His salutations be upon
Him--hath also said: "He that looketh upon the sea at eventide, and saith:
'God is Most Great!' at sunset, God will forgive his sins, though they be
heaped as piles of sand. And he that counteth forty waves, while
repeating: 'God is Most Great!'--exalted be He--God will forgive his sins,
both past and future."

The Apostle of God--may the blessings of God and His salutations be upon
Him--hath said: "He that looketh upon the sea a full night is better than
he who passeth two whole months betwixt the Rukn and the Maqam. And he
that hath been brought up on the shores of the sea is better than he that
hath been brought up elsewhere. And he that lieth on the shore is as he
that standeth elsewhere."

Verily, the Apostle of God--may the blessings of God, exalted be He, and
His salutations be upon Him--hath spoken the truth.
