The Greatest Master Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi

The beloved Prophet, may peace be upon him, once revealed:

Allah Most High will ask those among the people of the Fire who are experiencing the mildest chastening:

If you now possessed all that is on earth, would you give it to redeem yourself?

"Yes, precious Lord."

Yet I asked of you something much easier while you were still in the earthly form of Adam-- that you associate nothing with Me in your worship of Me. You avoided every other error, but you did not avoid the error of regarding other powers as equal to Me.

* This hadith comes from the transmission of the noble companion Anas, may Allah be pleased with him.
