Aulia Allah
[Al-Bukhari]:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Verily Allah ta’ala has
said: ‘Whosoever shows enmity to a wali (friend) of Mine, then I have declared war against him.
And
My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved to Me than the religious duties I
have
obligated upon him. And My servant continues to draw near to me with nafil (supererogatory)
deeds
until I Love him. When I Love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with
which he
sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask
[something] of Me, I would surely give it to him; and were he to seek refuge with Me, I would
surely
grant him refuge.’ ”
