I am in the room of the intimate of Allah and on his bed’ so he called out to me: O Ahmad – the commander of the faithful (as) visited Sa`sa`a b. Suhan and then said: O Sa`sa`a do not make my visiting you a source of pride held over your kin, and lower yourself in front of Allah and Allah will raise you.
