What Do You Desire?

Someone asked Hazrat Haatim Asamm رحمه الله; “What do you desire?”

He replied; “That I be with aafiyah (safety) from morning till evening.”

The person said; “All your days pass whilst you are with aafiyah.”

Hazrat Haatim responded; “The day that I am not sinning and disobedient, only then will I be with aafiyah.” No one should feel snug in his imagined ‘sinlessness’ and in his own piety.
