النَّفْسُ الْأَمَّارَةُ الْمُسَوِّلَةُ تَتَمَلَّقُ تَمَلُّقَ الْمُنَافِقِ وَتَتَصَنَّعُ بِشِيمَةِ الصَّدِيقِ الْمُوَافِقِ حَتَّى إِذَا خَدَعَتْ وَتَمَكَّنَتْ تَسَلَّطَتْ تَسَلُّطَ الْعَدُوِّ وَتَحَكَّمَتْ تَحَكُّمَ الْعُتُوِّ فَأَوْرَدَتْ مَوَارِدَ السَّوْءِ
The refractory, alluring soul flatters as the hypocrite flatters and feigns the attribute of an assenting friend, until such a time when it deceives and gains mastery, then it dominates as an enemy would dominate and dictates as the tyrant would dictate, thereby taking one into the places of evil
