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!’
