Ibn_Masheesh_the_Pivot, page : 30
There is no doubt that in one's travel of worship there are abundant
lessons to be learned and admonition to be heeded.
Many sufis, amongst whom was Tho Al Noon Al Misri, occupied
themselves in traveling for the sake of worship. Such people would
travel along the banks of rivers, or by the edge of deserts taking for
their cover the sky and the earth for their bed. They would spend a
week or more traveling and spent their days fasting and in
contemplation, whereas their night was spent bowing and prostrating
in prayer. When they returned, their face shone with the light of faith
and that of good people, and told of the lessons they had learned and
the admonition they faced during their spiritual tour. In such way Allah
used them to benefit others whilst writing for them the reward of a
guide for those subject to be guided.
Secondly, this is the spiritual journey in search of knowledge.
