and said to himself: 'Does this person walk beside me?'

So he walked quickly on towards Jesus
and walked next to him

whilst the thief remained behind.

So Allah made known to Jesus, peace be upon him,
that since they both started to walk,

He had annulled the sins of the thief,

and also annulled the good deeds of the disciple
on account of his pride.

So Jesus informed them and the thief

came close to him and journeyed with him,
then became one of his disciples."

"O disciples, you fear sins

and we, prophets fear disbelief."

"O disciples, fearing Allah and loving Paradise
lets a person inherit patience during strife,

and lets the person distance himself from the world.
By the Truth, I tell you surely eating weeds,

and sleeping upon garbage dumps

with dogs is so little in demanding Paradise."

"It has been reported that Jesus passed by on a journey
a man that slept under the cover of his coat.

Jesus awoke the man and said:

'O sleeper, sit up and remember Allah, the Most High,
so he said: 'What do you want from me,

I have left the world to its owners.'
So Jesus said to him:

'Then sleep my beloved.'"

"Surely, I love poverty and hate luxury,

and the best name he liked to be addressed with
was: O servile."

"Do not look to the wealth of the people of the world
because the glitter of their wealth

takes away the light of your faith."

"It was said to him:

'O Prophet of Allah,

if only you would order us to build a house
in which to worship Allah.'

He replied: 'Go and build a house on water.'

They inquired: 'How can a building be built on water?'

He answered: 'And how can worship be found
with the love of the world.'"
