I swear by the Most Great Lord! Wert thou to be told in what place I dwell, the first person to have mercy on Me would be thyself. In the heart of a mountain is a fortress (Maku)... the inmates of which are confined to two guards and four dogs. Picture, then, My plight... I swear by the truth of God! Were he who hath been willing to treat Me in such a manner to know Who it is Whom he hath so treated, he, verily, would never in his life be happy. Nay -- I, verily, acquaint thee with the truth of the matter -- it is as if he hath imprisoned all the Prophets, and all the men of truth and all the chosen ones...
(14:2)
