The Shaykh : Oh, let us specify it. Yes, let us specify it as two nights.
The questioner : The hadiths that indicate that ... fatness, that fatness appears, and we see among the righteous ... those who are fat ... how do we reconcile this?
The Shaykh : They are reconciled by the fact that fatness appears in them because they take care of their bodies and are heedless of the rectification of their hearts. As for fatness that is not from your effort or your toil, you are not to be blamed for it.
