the minister and asked him a second time. When the minister saw the

left it seemed to the minister that the shaykh was muttering something
disagreeable about him to himself, however, he could not hear exactly
what he was saying and said, "Shaykh, aren't you ashamed to speak
against me?" The shaykh was taken by surprise. It had not occurred to
him that the minister might think that he would do such a thing and told
him that it was not so, and that he was remembering Allah saying, "O
You, the Turner of hearts and eyes."
