“O Allah, were I to know that what pleases You most concerning me is that I throw myself down from a height and fall, I would do it; and were I to know that Your greatest pleasure with me lay in my kindling a fire and then hurling myself into it, I would do it; O Allah, and were I to know that Your greatest pleasure with me lay in my casting myself into this water and drowning in it, I would do it.”
