He said, 'O companions, give me respite, so that through my stratagem you may escape from calamity; so that through my stratagem your lives may gain safety, and this inheritance may remain for your children. Every prophet in the world likewise called his communities toward deliverance, because he had seen a way of exit from the celestial sphere, while in outward sight he was enfolded like the pupil of the eye. His people saw him as small as the pupil; no one found the way into the greatness of the pupil.'
