"That the sense is not known except to Allah and those immersed in knowledge." Then Amir almu'minin
dilates upon this theme in a different style, he says that there are some things in it
which are necessary to know, such as "So know that there is no god but Allah" and there are
others which are not necessary to know such as "alif lam mim" etc. It has also injunctions
which have been repealed by the Prophet's action such as "As for your women who commit
adultery get four male witnesses and if four witnesses do appear shut such women in the
house till death ends their life.
