Gulistan of Saadi

The Morals of Dervishes

 Story 30

Abu Harirah, may the approbation of Allah be upon him, was in the habit of daily waiting upon the
Mustafa, peace on him, who said: ‘Abu Harira, visit me on alternate days that our love may increase.’
A man said to a devotee: ‘Beautiful as the sun is, I never heard that anybody took it for a friend or fell
in love with it’, and he replied: ‘This is because it may be seen daily, except in winter when it is veiled
and beloved.’

There is no harm in visiting people
But not till they say: ‘It is enough!’
If thou findest fault with thyself
Thou wilt not hear others reproaching thee.
