I said, “O Commander of the Faithful! Yes, I am awake and I am looking at you,” He said, “O Noof! Blessed be those who abstain from this world, and are inclined to the Hereafter. They are the ones who have established the Earth as their carpet, and have established its dirt as their bed, and its water as their perfume. They constantly read the Quran, and praying is their custom. They have cut off themselves from the world as did Jesus the son of Mary (MGB). Indeed God the Honorable the Exalted revealed to Jesus the son of Mary: Tell the elders from the Children of Israel: “Do not enter any of My houses without having a pure heart, humble eyes, and clean hands.” Also tell them: “Know that I will not answer the prayers of anyone amongst you. Neither will I answer the prayers of anyone who is indebted to any of my creatures. O Noof! Beware not to become a customs official, a poet, a policeman, chief (of a village), or one who plays the Tanbour , or the drum since the Prophet (MGB) came out one night, looked at the sky and said, “This is the hour in which no one’s prayers are rejected except the prayers of a chief (of a village), or the prayers of a poet, or the prayers of a customs official, or a policeman, or one who plays the Tanbour , or one who plays the drum.”
