The Shaykh & the Harlot
بِسۡمِ
ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykh Abu al-Fath Ghiyats ad-Din ‘Umar ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyami an-Nishaburi (q.s.) wrote:
“A shaykh beheld a harlot, and
quoth he,
‘You seem a slave to
drink and lechery’;
And she made answer, ‘What I seem, I am,
But, Master, are you all you seem to be?’”
