The Soft Side of Hardness
Hazrat Abu l-Hosain Al-Nuri (ra) and another were seated together, both weeping bitterly. When the other departed, Hazrat Nuri (ra) turned to his companions.
“Did you know who that was?” he asked them.
“No,” they replied.
“That was Iblis,” he told them. “He was relating the services he had performed and was telling the tale of his life, bewailing the agony of separation. As you saw, he was weeping. I too was weeping.”
