注：○灵光：以译原文之Alif，盖真主安拉之首字也。○金匮：古藏重物之铜匮也。《汉书·晁错传》：“陛下之德厚而得贤佐，皆有司之所览，刻于玉版，藏于金匮，历之春秋，纪之后世，为帝者祖宗。”○玉皇：天帝。李白 《赠别舍人台卿之江南》诗：“入洞过天地，登真朝玉皇。”亦以译真主。
A Hair perhaps divides the False and True;
Yes; and a single Alif were the clue—
Could you but find it——to the Treasure-house,
And peradventure to THE MASTER too;
