Imam Shafi'i: I accompanied the Sufis and received from them but three words
________________________________________________
'I accompanied the Sufis and received from them but three words: their statement that time is a sword: if you do not cut it, it cuts you; their statement that if you do not keep your ego busy with truth it will keep you busy with falsehood; their statement that deprivation is immunity.'
(Imam Shafi'i)
