Imam Shafi`i said: 3 things in this world have been made lovely to me: avoiding affectation, treating people kindly, and following the way of tasawwuf.
He also said: I accompanied the Sufis and received from them but three words:
their statement that time is a sword: if you do not cut it, it cuts you;
their statement that if you do not keep your ego busy with truth it will keep you busy with falsehood;
their statement that deprivation is immunity.
[-Al-Shafi`i]
