He says: “The Sufis desire fellowship with sickness and misfortune, keep company with anxiety and weakness for such things in their life lead to healing. He who does not reckon affliction as a grace is not one of the wise. The saintly virtue of affliction makes the devotee humble in the presence of God and is a sign of spiritual perfection.
