_Asal_ then had no doubt but that all those things which were delivered in his law, concerning the commandment of that Almighty and Glorious God, his angels and books, his messengers and the last day, Paradise and Hell--all these were resemblances of what _Hayy Ibn Yokdhan_ had seen. And the eyes of his heart were opened, and his mind was enlightened, when he saw that the things which he apprehended and discerned by reason, and that which he had received by tradition ("the Original and the Copy"), agreed very well together. And now the ways of mystical interpretation became easy unto him, nor was there anything difficult or remained dark of those precepts which he had received that was not now quite plain and perspicuous. In this way his intellectual faculty grew strong and vigorous, and he began to look upon _Hayy Ibn Yokdhan_ with such admiration and respect that he greatly reverenced him, and assured himself that he was _one of the Saints of God, such as were not molested with any fear upon them, and who shall not suffer through pain_. (Koran.) Thereupon he made himself ready to wait upon him, to imitate him, and to follow his admonitions in the performance of such works as did occur unto him, in those legal things which formerly he had learned in his religion. _Asal tells Hayy of the Island from whence he had come._ Then _Hayy Ibn Yokdhan_ began to enquire of him concerning his condition and his manner of living, and _Asal_ gave him an account of the state of that Island from whence he had come--what kind of people inhabited it, and what sort of life they led before that religious sect which we mentioned came among them, and how it was now, since his coming thereinto. He also gave him an account of all those things that were delivered in the law, concerning the description of the divine world, of Paradise and the fire of Hell (Gehenna), of the awakening and resurrection of mankind, of their gathering unto Judgment, of the account then to be given up, of the scales wherein the actions of men should be weighed, and the way through which they were to pass. Now, _Hayy Ibn Yokdhan_ understood very well all those things, nor did he perceive that any of them were unsuitable to that which he had seen when in that exalted condition; and he knew that he who had described those things and delivered them unto men, was true in so declaring them, and that in these his sayings he was a true and faithful messenger sent from God. And he believed him and acknowledged the truth thereof and bore testimony to his mission.
