﴿ مَا زَاغَ ٱلْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ ﴾

“[And withal,] the eye did not waver, nor yet did it stray:”

The eye did not swerve, nor did it go beyond [the bounds].He did not incline to the evidences of his self (shawāhid nafsihi), nor to witnessing them (mushāhadatihā), but was totally absorbed in the witnessing (mushāhada) of his Lord, Exalted is He, seeing (shāhid) the attributes [of God] that were being manifested [to him], which required firmness from him in that place (maḥall).
