that he pours out is for his own spiritual benefit and progress. Cf. Coleridge: "He prayeth best who loveth best all
things both great and small, for the Great God Who loveth us, Who made and loveth all". (64.16)

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 66 Narrated by
AbuYa'la ibn Shaddad ibn Aws
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A wise person is one who keeps a watch over his bodily desires and passions, and
checks himself from that which is harmful and strives for that which will benefit him after death; and a foolish person is one
who subordinates himself to his cravings and desires and expects from Allah the fulfilment of his futile desires.

BETRAY:
8:27 - O ye that believe! betray not the trust of Allah and the apostle nor misappropriate knowingly
things entrusted to you. 1200
1200 Trusts may be of various kinds: (1) property, goods, credit, etc.; (2) plans, confidences, secrets, etc.; (3) knowledge,
talents, opportunities, etc., which we are expected to use for our fellowmen. Men may betray the trust of Allah and His
Prophet by misusing property, or abusing the confidence reposed in them, or the knowledge or talents given to them.
On that special occasion, when the plans for the protection of Allah's worshippers against annihilation were of special
importance, the Prophet's trust and confidence had to be guarded with special care. Occasions for scrupulously
respecting the trust and confidence of our fellow-men occur every day in our life, and few of us can claim perfection in
this respect. Hence the special distinction of the Prophet of Allah, who earned the title of Al-Amin, the one who was
true to every trust reposed in him. (8.27)
8:71 - And if they would betray thee, they betrayed Allah before, and He gave (thee) power over
them. Allah is knower, Wise.
