A Worshipper from Baghdad


Nûh al-Aswad narrates:

‘I saw a woman who would frequent the circles of Abû ‘Abdillah al-Burâthî and sit and listen to his words; she would never speak nor ask in regards to anything, so one day I asked her ‘May Allâh have mercy upon you! How is it that I never see you speaking nor asking any questions?’

She replied ‘To speak little is better than speaking more, except when it is regarding the Dhikr of Allâh for the silent one is more accepting of advice, and you will not receive advice except from somebody who advises himself’. ‘O my Brother! The key point is: if Allâh has ordained obedience for you then he has wished Mercy for you, and if you choose to follow the path of the Deniers, then when you find yourself in the groups of the losers tomorrow…do not blame except yourself!’
