...Ibrahim Ibn Adham was among many who travelled on foot to perform Hajj. One day and while he was walking to Makkah, he saw a man riding a camel.
The man asked Ibrahim Ibn Adham:.. Where are you going?
Ibrahim said: I am heading to Makkah to perform Hajj.
Then the man said: but you need a ride to Makkah since it is extremely far.
Ibrahim said: indeed I have many but you do not see them.
The man said: "Where are they?
Ibrahim explained: In times of hardship, patience is my ride, in times of prosperity, thankfulness to Allah is my ride, and in times of feeling tempted to commit a sin, I remember that death is coming very soon.
Upon hearing this, the man astonishingly said: keep walking; I swear by Allah with the strong faith you have in your heart, you are in a better situation than me.
Salam & Peace...
