Hatim Al-Asamm
asserted,
“Do not be deceived by righteous places, for there is no place more righteous than Paradise, and consider what Adam [peace be upon him] met with in a righteous place!
And do not be deceived by abundant acts of worship, for consider what Iblis came to after so much worship.
And do not be deceived by large quantities of knowledge, for Balaam knew the Greatest Name of God, and consider what he met with!
And do not be deceived by meeting the pious, for there is no person with a greater destiny than Mustafa [may God’s blessing and peace be upon him], and meeting him did not benefit [some of] his relatives and enemies.”
- Risalah Qushayriyyah, Imam Abu-l-Qasim al-Qushayri
