O Miskeen!


Al Fudayl ibn ‘Iyaad said;

يا مسكين، أنت مسئ وترى أنك محسن، وأنت جاهل وترى أنك عالم، وتبخل وترى أنك كريم، وأحمق وترى أنك عاقل، أجلك قصير، وأملك طويل.
قلت: إي والله، صدق، وأنت ظالم وترى أنك مظلوم، وآكل للحرام وترى أنك متورع، وفاسق وتعتقد أنك عدل، وطالب العلم للدنيا وترى أنك تطلبه لله.

“O Miskeen! You are an evil-doer and you think yourself to be one who does good. You are an ignoramus and you think yourself to be a scholar. You are a miser and you think yourself to be generous. O foolish one! You see that you are intelligent. Your time is short, but your hope is long.”

[Adh-Dhahabi]: I say: Yes, by Allah, he has spoken the truth. And you are an oppressor and you think yourself to be the one who is oppressed. And you eat what is unlawful and you think that you are cautious and fearful (in this regard). And you are a sinner and you think yourself to be just and upright. And you seek the knowledge (of the religion) for the world, and yet you think that you seek it for Allaah.
