The Dawud atTa`i Story - Part 1:

From the beginning Dawud atTa`i (may God be pleased with him) was overwhelmed by an inner grief and always avoided the society of his fellow creatures. The cause of his conversion was that he heard a mourning-woman recite these verses.

“On which of your cheeks has decay begun, And which of your eyes has started to run?”

Great sorrow invaded his heart, and all composure deserted him. In this state he went to lessons with his teacher Imam abu Hanifa (may God be pleased with him).

“What has transpired with you?” Imam abu Hanifa asked.

Dawud related to him the foregoing incident.

“The world has lost its attractions for me,” he added; “Something has happened inside of me which I cannot understand, nor can I discover an explanation of it in any book or legal pronouncement.”

“Turn away from other men,” Imam abu Hanifa prescribed.

The Dawud atTa`i Story - Part 3:

He [Dawud atTa`i (may God be pleased with him)] then encountered Habib arRa`i, who initiated him into the mystic path. He set forth upon it manfully. He flung his books into the river, went into retirement and cut off all expectation of other men.

Now, he had received twenty dinars as an inheritance.

These he consumed in twenty years. Certain of the Shaykhs reproved him for this.

“The path stands for giving to others, not keeping to oneself.”

“I hold on to this amount to secure my peace of mind,” he explained. “I can make do with this until I die.”

The Dawud atTa`i Story - Part 2:

So Dawud atTa`i (may God be pleased with him) turned his face from other men and shut himself up in his house. After a long interval, Imam abu Hanifa (may God be pleased with him) went to see him.

“This is not the solution, for you to hide in your house and utter not a word. The proper course is for you to sit at the feet of the imams and listen to them propounding novel ideas. You should attend to what they have to say patiently, uttering not a word. Then you will know those problems better than they.”

Recognizing the good sense of what Imam abu Hanifa said, Dawud resumed his studies. For a year he sat at the feet of the imams, never opening his mouth and accepting their pronouncements with patience, being content simply to listen and not to reply.

“This one year’s patience,” he remarked at the end of that time, “is equivalent to thirty years’ strenuous work.”

The Dawud atTa`i Story - Part 4:

He [Dawud atTa`i (may God be pleased with him)] spared himself no austerity, to such an extent that he would dip bread in water and then sip the water, saying, “Between this and eating the bread I can recite fifty verses of the Koran. Why should I waste my life?”

Abu Bakr al'Aiyash reports, “I went to Dawud’s chamber and saw him holding a piece of dry bread and weeping. ‘What has happened, Dawud?’ I asked. ‘I want to eat this piece of bread,’ he replied, ‘and I do not know whether it is hallowed or unhallowed.”’

Another reports, “I called on him, and saw a pitcher of water placed in the sun. I asked, ‘Why do you not place it in the shade?’ ‘When I put it there, it was in the shade,’ he replied. ‘Now I am too ashamed before God to indulge myself.’”

A blessed Friday to you all!

#MonthOfTheMessengerﷺ The Purity and Eloquence of his ﷺ Blessed Speech: The final possessor of the pure Arabic speech ﷺ.

Hafiz azZurqani (may God be pleased with him) said, “Rather, the Messenger of God ﷺ surpassed this, for he ﷺ would speak to everyone with their own language, with extensive eloquence, i.e. extensive in his ﷺ knowledge of all the langauges of the Arabs, and their pure dialects, as is narrated in the Musnad and elsewhere on the authority of Ka`b ibn `Asin alAsh`ari (may God be pleased with him) who said, "I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say, "It is not righteousness to fast when travelling” in the dialect of some of the people of Yemen.“”

Physical descriptions Part 12 of the Prophet ﷺ from the book of the Gnostic Shaykh and Imam, `Abdallah Sirajuddin alHusayni (may God be pleased with him and sanctify his secret).

Sisters, and I’m telling you this as your older brother, the man who is worth your time is the one who will do everything to make you comfortable. He’s not going to make you compromise your values, he’s not going to make you second-guess yourself, he’s going to ask you for your parents’ number, why should you give someone who hesitates on you the benefit of being with you?

Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah (rahimahullah) says: “In the sight of Allah, backbiting is worse than adultery and consuming alcohol because adultery and consuming alcohol is between you and Allah, if you repent, Allah will forgive you. However backbiting is never forgiven until the person you spoke against forgives you”.

[Shu'b al-Iman li'l Imam al-Bayhaqi]

Note: Backbiting is never forgiven until the person you spoke against forgives you because one of the conditions of ones repentance being accepted is that you go back and correct the wrong that you did or return the right of the one whose right you usurped if it is possible.
