Al-Muḥṣī - The Absolute Reckoner
Al-Muḥṣī is the knowing one. But when knowledge is related to the objects-of-knowledge in respect of the fact that it reckons, counts and comprehends them, it is called a reckoning. The absolute Al-Muḥṣī is the one to whose knowledge the definitive of everything known, as well as its quantity and extent, lie open. Though it is possible for man to reckon by virtue of his knowledge some of the objects-of-knowledge, yet he is incapable of reckoning the majority of them. (Therefore the possibility) of his acceding to this name is weak, as is the case with his participating in the basic attribute of knowledge.
