   • c. 1599, Bahāʾ al‐Dīn ʿĀmilī, کشکول‎^[1]:

     پس پاره‌ای از آن خزانه‌ها را سرشار از نور و سرور یابد و بمشاهده‌ی آن چنان خوشحالی فراهمش شود که اگرش بر مردمان جهنم بخش کنند، رنج آتش از یادشان برد. این خزانه‌ها، ویژه‌ی ساعاتی است که در آن به طاعت خداوند مشغول بوده است.

     pas pāra'ē az ān xizāna-hā rā saršār-i nūr u surūr yābad u ba mušahada-yi ān čunān xwašhālī farāham-aš šawad ki agar-aš bar mardumān-i jahannam baxš kunand, ranj-i ātiš az yād-išān barad. īn xizāna-hā, wēža-yi sā'ātē ast ki dar ān ba tā'at-i xudāwand mašğūl būda ast.

     Thus he finds a portion of those treasures to be intoxication in light and ecstasy, and happiness gathers about him when he witnesses this, to the point that even were he among the people of Hell, he would forget the torment of the Fire. These treasures are the select times when he is occupied in the worship of the Lord.
