I remember, being in my childhood pious, rising in the night, addicted to devotion and abstinence. One night I was sitting with my father, remaining awake and holding the beloved Quran in my lap, whilst the people around us were asleep. I said: -Not one of these persons lifts up his head or makes a genuflection. They are as fast asleep as if they were dead.- He replied: -Darling of thy father, would that thou wert also asleep rather than disparaging people.-

The pretender sees no one but himself
Because he has the veil of conceit in front.
If he were endowed with a God-discerning eye
He would see that no one is weaker than himself.
