Al-Ghazali reported: Al-Fudayl, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “I never saw anyone more pious than a man of Khorasan. He was sitting by me at the Sacred Mosque, then he stood to perform circumambulation. Some coins with him were stolen and it made him weep. I said: Is it over some coins you weep? The man said: No, rather I imagined him and myself before Allah Almighty. My mind envisioned the rejection of his excuse, so I wept out of mercy for him.”

عن الغزالي وقال الفضيل رحمه الله ما رأيت أزهد من رجل من أهل خراسان جلس إلي في المسجد الحرام ثم قام ليطوف فسرقت دنانير كانت معه فجعل يبكي فقلت أعلى الدنانير تبكي فقال لا ولكن مثلتني وإياه بين يدي الله عز وجل فأشرف عقلي على إدحاض حجته فبكائي رحمة له
