And that I walk with a brother of mine to fulfil his need is dearer to me than observing i'tikaf in this mosque, that is, the Prophet's Mosque, for a month. Whoever restrains his anger, Allah will cover his faults; and whoever swallows his rage although he could have carried it out had he wished, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will fill his heart with security and peace on the Day of Resurrection.
