Al-Sulamī states in his “History of the Sufis”: “Abū Yazīd died at the age of seventy-three, and his discourse on spiritual dealings is most excellent.
Then he adds: ‘A variety of ecstatic utterances (shatḥ) are attributed to him; some are unsound or no more than words put into his mouth. Yet he would always return to lofty spiritual states.’ He then transmitted through his own chain from Abū Yazīd, who said:

‘Whoever looks at my witness with the eye of agitation, at my moments with the eye of estrangement, at my states with the eye of deceptive enticement, at my speech with the eye of fabrication, at my expressions with the eye of reckless audacity, and at my very self with the eye of contempt has erred in his judgment of me.⦗1⦘’

It is also related from him that he said, ‘Were a single proclamation of “Lā ilāha illā Allah” to emerge from me in utter purity, I would not care about anything thereafter.’

Abū Yazīd passed away in Bistām in the year 261 AH.
