96 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Salamah ibn Shabib told me; Sahl ibn ʿAsim related, from Muhammad ibn Abi Mansur, who said: I heard Abu ʿAbd al-Rahman the Ascetic say:

“My God, You have concealed from me my appointed time while You have kept an exact count of my deeds, and I do not know to which of the two abodes You will send me. Thus You have set me among the stations of the sorrowful for as long as You allow me to live.”
