The
Most Beautiful Thing That the People of the World Leave the World Without
Ever Tasting..
From
Salam al-Khawaass who said:
قال مالك بن دينار خرج أهل الدنيا من الدنيا ولم يذوقوا أطيب شيء
فيها قيل وما هو قال معرفة الله تعالى
Maalik bin Dinar said:
"The people of the world depart from the world without them
having tasted the most beautiful thing from it." It was said, "And
what is it?" He replied, "The ma'rifah of Allaah [knowledge of His Names, Attributes, Actions and their interplay and connection to the
creation]."
