“Paradise belongs to the servants of God, let them Be _habshís_, ‘negroes,’ and hell is for the depraved, Let them be _sáids_ of Koresh extraction.” He saw God manifest: “Peradventure you may see your God made manifest.” And the order was given to Báyezíd to say: “I have seen thee by thee; I have heard thee from thee.” God said to him further: “The disgrace of this world is lighter than the disgrace Of thy future world; haste towards what is good; be slow Towards what is bad.” And the Lord God announced to him: “I have established as duties the exterior and the interior worship: the exterior worship as a duty for acquiring knowledge, and the interior worship as a perpetual duty.” Báyezíd was perplexed: “If I offer prayers I am an idolator, and if I neglect them I am an infidel; for it is said: “‘The offering of prayers is idolatry, and the neglect of them infidelity.’” Then the command arrived: “Perform the prayers of the prophet;” he asked: “What prayers are these?” The Almighty God said: “The praise of the Divinity.” Afterwards he chose this prayer, as it is said: “The worship of those who are attached to the unity of God is, before men, like the worship of worshippers; but before God, it participates in the object of worship itself.” Báyezíd devoted himself so much more to secret practices of piety, about which the prophet has said: “The best remembrance of God is secret remembrance, and the best food is that which is sufficient.” And again: “Remember your God morning and evening; and be not one of the negligent.” His friends saw in a night dream, and he himself heard the voice, that Báyezíd should be called _Míyán Róshen_, and he obtained eternal life, according to the words of God: “Say not of him who is slain in the way of the Lord, that he is dead, but that he is alive; but you cannot distinguish the deaf, the dumb, and the blind; nor can they reply to you; for they are deaf in hearing the truth, dumb in speaking the truth, and blind in seeing the truth.” He made himself free of the crowd of such description; and frequently divine inspiration came upon him.
