In Section 11 of the *Hadiqat al-Haqiqah*, Sanai outlines the spiritual benefits and metaphysical protective power of sending blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad and invoking his name. Sanai highlights that mentioning the Prophet's name eliminates fear of worldly difficulties, repels hellfire, and elevates the human intellect and soul. In Sufi cosmology as presented by Sanai, the soul's true nobility and eternal existence depend entirely on its devotion and connection to the Prophet.

تا به حشر ای دل ار ثنا گفتی 
همه گفتی چو مصطفا گفتی
نام او بردی از جهان مندیش 
حور دندان کنان خود آید پیش
دوزخ از نام او چنان برمد 
که ز لاحول دیو جان برمد
هرچه خواهی درایت او دان 
وآنچه یابی عنایت او دان
عقل از آن نامدار مشهور است 
که در آن کارگاه مزدور است
جان از آن در میان عز و بقاست 
که از آن روی در امید لقاست
جان که آن روی را نخواهد دید 
نیست جان بلکه پارگین پلید
خاک او باش و پادشاهی کن 
آن او باش و هرچه خواهی کن
هرکه چون خاک نیست بر در او 
گر فرشته ست خاک بر سر او
عقل چون برد شخص او را نام 
نفس کلی زبان کشد در کام
عقل کل بی بهاش چیز نشد 
تا نشد چاکرش عزیز نشد
زین در ار هیچ عقل بگریزد 
همچو پرده اش فلک برآویزد
عقل و جان را به دولت احمد 
از بقا ساختند حصن ابد
جوهرش چون زکان کن بگسست 
در کمرگاه آسمان زد دست
ز آسمان گرچه برفراز نشد 
تا زمینش نکرد باز نشد
که در آمد به جز محمد حر 
از جهان تهی به عالم پر
کیست جز وی بگو شفیع رسل 
بر سر جسر نار و بر سر پل
گفته در گوش جانش حاجب بار 
کای شهنشه سر از گلیم برآر
ای به یاقوت گفتن و کردن 
گردنان را میان جان گردن
پنج نوبت زدند بر عرشت 
ساختند از جهان جان فرشت
فرش را در جهان جان گستر 
عرش چون فرش زیر پای آور

## English translation
Until Resurrection, O heart, if you speak praise,
You have said it all if you praised Mustafa.
Mention his name and do not worry about the world;
The smiling houris will come forward themselves.
Hell flees from his name in such a way
That the soul of a demon flees from 'la hawla'.
Whatever you desire, know it as his comprehension;
And whatever you find, know it as his grace.
Intellect is famous and renowned because
It is a hired worker in that workshop of his.
The soul is in the midst of honor and eternity
Because it hopes for a meeting with that face.
The soul that will not see that face
Is not a soul, but rather a filthy sewer.
Be his dust and rule as a king;
Belong to him and do whatever you wish.
Whoever is not like dust at his door—
Even if an angel—dust be upon their head!
When intellect mentions his person's name,
The Universal Soul pulls its tongue into its mouth.
The Universal Intellect became nothing without his value;
Until it became his servant, it did not become dear.
If any intellect flees from this door,
The sky will hang it like a curtain.
Intellect and soul, through the fortune of Ahmad,
Were made into an eternal fortress of survival.
When his essence broke away from the mine of 'Kun',
It laid its hand on the waist of the sky.
Although it did not ascend above the heavens,
Until the earth opened up for it, it did not return.
Who entered, other than the noble Muhammad,
From the empty world into the filled realm?
Say, who is the intercessor of the messengers other than him,
At the head of the bridge of fire and upon the crossing?
The chamberlain of the court whispered in the ear of his soul:
'O Emperor, lift your head from the cloak!
O you whose speech and action are like rubies,
Who are the soul of the souls of the proud.
They beat the five drums on your Throne;
They made your carpet from the world of the soul.
Spread the carpet in the world of the soul;
Bring the Throne under your feet like a carpet.'

بخش ۱۱ - اندر درود دادن بر او و آل او صلّی‌الله علیه‌وسلّم / Section 11 - On Sending Blessings upon Him and His Family, Peace Be Upon Him

In the introductory section of *Hadiqat al-Haqiqah*, Sanai of Ghazna establishes the theological and Sufi foundations of Prophet Muhammad's superiority over all other prophets. By incorporating key Quranic verses (such as depicting him as a mercy to the worlds) and prominent Hadith traditions (including *laulaka* and the Prophet's pre-existence before the creation of Adam), Sanai highlights the cosmic role, spiritual primacy, and ontological precedence of the Prophet in Sufi cosmology.

The Salvific and Protective Power of the Prophet's Name in Sana'i's Hadiqat al-Haqiqah

In this section of the *Hadiqat al-Haqiqah*, Sana'i of Ghazna explores the Prophet Muhammad's designation as a mercy to the worlds (*rahmatan lil-alamin*). He highlights the Prophet's cosmic primacy, depicting him as the first in creation (*awwal al-fikr*) but the last in prophetic mission (*akhir al-amal*). Sana'i employs rich Sufi metaphysics and imagery, connecting the Prophet to the Universal Soul (*nafs-i kull*) and the Holy Spirit, illustrating that the physical and spiritual realms derive their ultimate value, light, and order from his existence.

Sana'i's Portrayal of the Prophet as a Universal Mercy and Cosmic Origin in Hadiqat al-Haqiqah

In Section 2 of Sanai's *Hadiqat al-Haqiqah*, the inception of prophethood is described through the creation of Adam. Sanai explains that Adam was created from non-existence and received a primordial divine light or lamp, which represents the source of prophetic guidance. Although Adam was endowed with divine secrets and the water of life was kneaded into his clay, Sanai emphasizes his human limits, asserting that he was not the absolute knower of the unseen (*Ghayb-dan*), which is a quality reserved solely for God. This distinction highlights the relationship between early prophetic history and the transmission of the divine light.

The Primordial Prophetic Light and Adam in Hadiqat al-Haqiqah

In Section 6 of Sanai's *Hadiqat al-Haqiqah*, the absolute superiority of the Prophet Muhammad over all preceding prophets is articulated through theological and mystical metaphors. Sanai portrays the Prophet as a singular, unified entity of divine grace ('one person who is all'), contrasted with other prophets who received only partial portions. The text emphasizes his supreme spiritual authority, noting that his character (*khulq*) represents the most noble caravan and his sweat the most honorable lineage. Sanai asserts his status as the Seal of the Prophets by referencing the tradition *La Nabiyya Ba'di* (There is no prophet after me) and describes his spiritual determination (*himmat*) as seeking only the Highest Companion (*al-Rafiq al-A'la*), thus establishing his cosmic preeminence.

Sana'i's Portrayal of the Prophet's Superiority Over Previous Prophets in Hadiqat al-Haqiqah

In Section 10 of the *Hadiqat al-Haqiqah*, Sana'i of Ghazna interprets the Quranic designation of the Prophet Muhammad as a mercy to the worlds (*rahmatan lil-alamin*) by depicting him as the ultimate spiritual physician (*tabib*). Sana'i asserts that the Prophet's intellect (*khirad*) and discipline (*adab*) are the cure for human souls afflicted by worldly passions (*hawa and havas*). The verses counsel seekers to rely on the Prophet's guidance rather than their own sensory perception (*hiss*) and imagination (*wahm*), which only keep them at the threshold of truth.

Sana'i's Portrayal of the Prophet as the Spiritual Physician and Guide in Hadiqat al-Haqiqah

In Section 12 of Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai of Ghazna illustrates Prophet Muhammad's superiority over previous prophets by referencing their respective spiritual states and trials. Sanai depicts figures like Adam seeking forgiveness, Noah seeking refuge in the Prophet's protection, Moses seeking the divine vision (arani) at his door, and Jesus being associated with his praise. Through these classical prophetic allusions, Sanai reinforces the Sufi doctrine of the Prophet's ontological primacy and spiritual supremacy.

Sana'i's Portrayal of the Prophet's Superiority Over Key Prophets in Section 12 of Hadiqat al-Haqiqah

In Section 13 of the *Hadiqat al-Haqiqah*, Sana'i describes the spiritual and physical attributes of Prophet Muhammad, emphasizing his absolute perfection. The poem explicitly references traditional Islamic and eschatological titles bestowed upon the Prophet, such as 'Hashir' (the Gatherer), 'Aqib' (the Last in succession), and 'Mahi' (the Effacer of disbelief). By utilizing these titles, Sana'i underscores the Prophet's definitive role in the divine plan, illustrating him as the ultimate guide (Imam) who unites heavenly intellect with earthly manifestation and serves as the highest standard for spiritual realization.
