He should be answered with the signs of the Hour in a simple manner. If he does not comprehend, his interlocutor should be advised to stop speaking with him, because one should only address a person with what they understand. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Speak to the people about what they know. Do you wish that Allah and His Messenger be denied?" And Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You do not speak to a people with a discourse that their minds cannot grasp, but that it becomes a tribulation for some of them."
