"Tuba (a valley or tree in Paradise)*
is for whosoever refrains from a present desire
for an absent promise
which has not yet been fulfilled.'"
* Linguistically 'Tuba' means good things, and by expression it is a valley in Paradise or a tree
which is so huge that if a bird started to fly from one end to the other, its journey would consume
its lifetime. 'Tuba' is the opposite to 'Wayl' which linguistically means woe, and by expression
means a valley or well in Hell. It is so terrible that Hell itself asks Allah for refuge from it.
"O disciples, make your stomach hungry*
in order that your hearts see your Lord."
"O disciples, make your life hungry*
and uncover your bodies (except the privates)
is for whosoever refrains from a present desire
for an absent promise
which has not yet been fulfilled.'"
