The Greatest Master Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi

The beloved Muhammad, may Allah grant him perfect peace, reported:

The Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, once supplicated:"O Lord, teach me a way by which I can continuously remember You and pray to You."

Repeat la ilaha ilallah, there is no Reality apart from Supreme Reality.

"O Lord, all your servants affirm this."

Repeat la ilaha ilallah ceaselessly.

"There is indeed no reality apart from You, O Allah, yet I long for an invocation that You would give uniquely to me."

My noble Moses, if the seven heavens and the seven levels of earth, including all their inhabitants, were on one side of the scale and la ilaha ilallah on the other, la ilaha ilallah would have greater weight.

*This hadith, collected by the sage an-Nasa'i, comes from the transmission of the noble companion Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him.
