13. Jalal-ud-Din Suyooti says in Durr-i-Mansoor, in the
context of Verse 7 of Surah from
Ibn-e-'Asaakar reporting from Jabir-bin-Abdullah, who said: "We were in a
session of the Prophet; Ali also appeared there the Prophet said, 'By Him who is
Master of my soul, this man and his Shi'ites are the exalted of the Day of
Judgment". And Manawi, on bases of two reports reproduces it in
Kunooz-ul-Haqaiq, and Haithami in Majma'ul-Zawa'id, and Ibn-i-Hojr in
As-Sawaiq-ul-Muhraqa have described the same subject in a different trance.

16. In the Dictionary called Burhan-i-Qati', it is said about Ikseer:
"An element which melts, mixes and augments, i.e.,
Transmutes copper to gold. Effective and useful medicine. Metaphorically: the
glance of ideal leader of spirituality is also called Ikseer. Coincidentally,
love has three characteristics; it melts, mixes and augments. But the cause of
popular similarity is the third one, i.e., augmenting transmutation. Therefore,
the poets call 'love' a remedier, a remedy, a Plato, a Galen (Jaaleenoos).
