As-Salaam alaikum,
The Sufi pinnacle of the Sufi path is attained when the Sufi lifts himself over his base attributes and assumes God's attributes, until he completely lives in God and acts through Him. This is expressed by the hadith-qudsi: "I AM HIS EAR,EYE, HAND AND TONGUE"-- the hadith al-nawafil..(Bukhari, hadith No. 6502)
At this stage, one masters firasa-- the art of assaying the inside (batin) by observing its outside (zahir), of assessing the inner self by reading the outward traits of a human being, particularly a person's physiognomy. Firasa is an unveiling of the truth and a vision of the unseen.
