speak to them. And even if He did talk to them in a humiliating way,<br />

why would something like this be asked?<br />

He said: <strong>The</strong>re are servants of Allah, if they spat at Hell they would<br />

turn it of£<br />

And he used to apply salt to his eyes so he wouldn't fall asleep.<br />

This is a horrible act because it is not permissible for a Muslim to<br />

harm himsel£ This may cause blindness. Also, it is not permissible<br />

for a person to remain awake and never sleep. Perhaps his lack of<br />

sleep was what caused to do such strange acts.<br />

And Abii J:Iamid al-GhazalI said that al-ShiblI once threw fifty dinar<br />

in the Tigris River and said: "No one ever elevated your status<br />

(money) except that Allah humiliated him."<br />

context of condemnation. So where is his .ftqh?<br />
