Precious Fruits
Abu Dharr's Patience
It was narrated that a man insulted Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, so Abu Dharr said, "Indeed, between me and Paradise is an obstacle. If I pass it, then I am better than what you say, and if I am turned away from it to Hell, then I am worse than what you said. So stop, O man, for you will end up with the One who knows the treachery of the eyes and what the hearts conceal."
