Know, may God help you, that I did not narrate this story except as a warning, a reminder, and information that the path of the people of God was like this, and their situation has passed in it. Al-Shibi’s perception was like this during his Hajj, for he only asked about his taste, whether someone else realized it or not, and others may realize this and he may realize what is higher. I have not invented a method in these acts of worship that I have never done before, except that tastes vary according to the extent of God’s care for the servant in that .
