Sheikh Fatah Musali (rahmatullahi alayh) narrates:

"I saw a minor boy walking in the wilderness. His lips were moving. I made Salaam and he responded. I asked: ‘Son! Where are you off to?’ He said: ‘I am proceeding to Baitullah.’"

Sheikh: "With which words are you moving your lips?"

Lad: "With the Qur`aan."

Sheikh: "You are yet a minor. The laws are not yet incumbent o­n you."

Lad: "I am observing that Maut is claiming even those younger than me."

Sheikh: "Your feet are still small and the road difficult and long."

Lad: "It is Allah’s responsibility to enable me to reach the destination."

Sheikh: "Where are your provisions and mount?"

Lad: "Yaqeen is my provision and my feet are my mount."

Sheikh: "I am asking about your food and water."

Lad: "O Uncle! If a person invites you to his home, is it proper to take food along to his house?"

Sheikh: "No!"

Lad: "My King is calling His servants to His House. The weakness of their Yaqeen constrains them to take along food, while I believe this to be highly disrespectful. Do you think that He will allow me to be destroyed?"

Sheikh: "Never!"

Sheikh Fatah continues: "The lad then disappeared from my sight. I saw him again in Makkah. When our eyes met, he said: ‘O Sheikh! You are still dwelling in weakness as far as Yaqeen is concerned.’"
