Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some Sufis cite the statement of the noble Companion Bilal ibn Rabah (may Allah be pleased with him) during his torture, "Ahad, Ahad" (One, One), and they said that no one rebuked him for it. Is this a valid argument for them?
Answer:
This is not what he said in the context of dhikr (remembrance of Allah); rather, he said it in the context of patience regarding the torture.
