The Sweetest Words [Ikhlas]
It is reported that the son of Al-Fudayl b. ‘Ayyâd – Allâh have mercy on him – said to his father:
“Father! How sweet (beautiful) the speech of the Companions is!”
[Al-Fudayl] said, “Son, do you know why it was so sweet?”
He replied, “No father, I do not.”
He said, “Because they sought Allâh the Exalted when they spoke.”
Al-Bayhaqî, Shu’ab Al-îmân 2:299
