Eighth: Seeking nearness to Allah the Exalted through the state of the person.

The Shaykh : The eighth is seeking nearness to Allah through the state of the person, meaning that the person mentions his state to his Lord, Mighty and Majestic. Mentioning one's state to the Most Generous is a request for blessings. I seek forgiveness from Allah. Mentioning one's state to the Most Generous is a request. Mentioning one's state to the Most Generous is a request. It means you go to a generous person and say, "By Allah, today I have no money, my children are at home, they have no dinner, not even a little, but you say nothing. What does the generous person do? He gives to him. Mention your state to your Lord, Mighty and Majestic, and He is the most generous of the generous. This is a means for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to give to you. Listen to the words of Adam, your father, Adam the father of the children of Adam. He and his wife, Eve, said: This is seeking nearness through what? Through what? Through mentioning the state. And for this reason, Allah forgave them. And in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah that we referred to earlier, yes, the hadith of Abu Bakr that we referred to a moment ago, what is it... The hadith of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him: This is seeking nearness to Allah through what? Through the state of the supplicant. The eighth.
