of anyone except Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in spite of suffering from prolonged starvation.’ (Risāla-tul-Qushayriyyaĥ, pp. 168)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on them and forgive us without accountability for their sake!
O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Save us from the mischief of our Nafs and Satan, and bless us with the gift of hunger and make us Your patient and thankful servants. Amīn!
آمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِهِ وَسَلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Sayyidunā Abū Ya’qūb Aqṭa’ Baṣrī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated: Once I remained hungry for ten days in Makkaĥ. Weakened by hunger, I went towards the jungle in search of something to eat. On the way, I found an old turnip. I heard as if a voice was saying, ‘You remained hungry for ten days and this is what is left for you, an old turnip?’ I immediately left it back on the ground and returned to the Masjid-ul-Ḥarām. Meanwhile, a non-Arab approached me and gave me a box saying, ‘This box is yours.’ I asked him astonishingly as to how the box became mine. He replied, ‘We had been travelling by sea for the last ten days; suddenly a huge storm occurred during the voyage, endangering our boat to drown. All of us made the intentions that if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ saves us from the storm, we will give Ṣadaqaĥ (alms). I also made the intention of giving this box to the person I would first see in Masjid-ul-Ḥarām, and you are the person I have met first.’
