71 – ‘Abd Allah narrated to us; ‘Ali ibn Abi Maryam reported, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn; Shu‘ayb ibn Muhriz also related, from Suhayl, the brother of Hazm. He said: “It reached me that ‘Amir ibn ‘Abd Qays used to say:

‘I have loved Allah with such a love that every calamity has become light for me and every decree has left me content. Because of this love, I no longer care in the least what state I wake up in or what state I go to sleep in.’”
