"It is related that one time she saw someone who had a bandage bound about his head. She said, "Why is this bandage bound (round your head)? He said, "My head is paining me". Rabi‘ah asked him, "how old he was"? "Thirty years old he replied. She asked him "Were you in pain and trouble for the greater part of your life"? ‘No’ he answered. Then she said, "for thirty years (God) has kept your body fit and you have never bound upon it the bandage of gratitude, but for one night of pain in your head you bind it with the bandage of complaint".
-Rabi'a, avid Sufi Muslim
