In These Places, No One Will Benefit Me
﷽
Ibrâhîm Ibn Adham (رحمه الله) said:
I was in the womb of my mother alone. I entered this world alone. I will die alone. I will enter my grave alone. I will be questioned (in my grave) alne. I will be resurrected from my grave alone. I will be taken to account alone. If I enter Paradise, I will enter it alone. If I enter the Hellfire, I will enter it alone.
In these places no one will benefit me, Therefore, what interest do I have in people?
