How Rare Are True Brothers
Ibn Al-Mubārak, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
Nothing has thwarted me like my inability to find [someone who can be] a brother for Allāh’s sake.¹
Shaikh Muqbil ibn Hādī Al-Wādiʿī, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
A [real, true] brother in this day and age is worth the whole world and whatever’s in it.²
