Imām Ahmad ibn Hanbal said:
Al-Shafi’i saw me sitting in his circle, and there was some ink on my shirt I was trying to hide. He said, “Young man, why are you hiding it? Having ink on ones clothes is a sign of lofty conduct: to the sight it is black, but to the insight it is white (with the light of knowledge).”
Abdullâh b. Al-Mubârak:Ink on the clothes is the perfume of the scholars.
- Some put this in verse (from Arabic):
The ink-pot’s ink is the perfume of men
As saffron is the perfume of women
So the former befits the garments of those men
As the latter the garments of wives
Imâm Ahmad said, seeing the students of hadith approaching with their ink-pots:
These are the lanterns of Islam.
(Al-Khatîb Al-Baghdâdî, Al-Jâmi’ li-Akhlâq Al-Râwî, articles 508, 509, 512)
A man came to al-Hasan al-Basree and said: ‘I wish to debate with you about the Religion.’
al-Hasan replied: ‘I know my Religion. If you have lost your Religion go out and look for it.’

A man once exclaimed to the mystic Rabia al-Adawiyya, “I have discovered a thousand proofs of the existence of God !” She closed the conversation by saying that she had only one proof and that was enough for her. “Which ?” he asked. “If you are alone in the desert and you fall down a well, to whom will you turn ?” “To God,” he said. “That proof is enough for me !”
