Keep in mind that Sayyidina Ibn Ata'illah al-Iskandari (rahmatu'Allahi alayh) was an inheritor of the Shathili Tariqa by Sayyidina Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi (qaddas'Allahu sirrahu), the main inheritor of Sayyidina Al-Imam Abu Al-Hasan Ali Al-Shathili, qaddas'Allahu sirrah. So Ibn Ata'illah's statement in regards to this is not to be taken lightly.
