Benefit From Fudayl Ibn Iyaad

Al-Fudayl Ibn Iyaad Said:

O Poor Person You Are Offensive But You See Yourself As A Good-doer. You Are Ignorant But You See Yourself As A Learn't -Person. You Are Stingy But You See Yourself As Noble. You Act Foolish But You See Yourself As Intelligent. Your Term Is Short(Life In This World) And Your Hope Is Long. I Say(Fudayl) Wa Allaahi The Truth Is You Are An Oppresser So See Yourself As An Oppresser. You Eat What Haram So See Yourself As A Evil Doer. You Think That You Are Just And A Seeker Of Knowledge But It Only For The Dunya. You Seek Knowledge Allaah only

{Siyar A'laamun-Nubalaa'i)
