In his Narrative of the Saints, Attar tells of the great Sufi Habib Ajimi who went to bathe in the river one day, leaving his coat unattended on the bank. Now Hasan of Basra happened to pass by, saw the coat and, thinking that it had been left there through someone’s carelessness, decided to stand guard over it till the owner showed up. When Habib came looking for his coat, Hasan said, “In whose care did you leave this coat of yours when you went to bathe in the river? It could have been stolen!” Habib replied, “I left it in the care of Him who gave you the task of standing guard over it!”
