Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the name of Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami's book? And do you advise us to read his books?
Answer:
By Allah, I do not know the name of the book, and you have no benefit in reading it. If you are reading *Hilyat al-Awliya* by Abu Nu'aym, it has been served and its hadiths have been extracted, so there is nothing wrong with that. Likewise, *Sifat al-Safwah* by Ibn al-Jawzi and its abridgment, *Safwat al-Safwah*, are biographies of the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the righteous, so that you may take them as role models; this is a good thing. Yes.
