Hazrat Shaqiq bin Salamah narrates that we went to visit Khabbab, and he said, "In this chest, there are eighty thousand (80,000) knots tied and kept, and I have never refused any beggar from them." We asked him, "Why are you weeping?" He replied, "My companions have departed, and the world did not harm them in the least, and now we are left behind to such an extent that we see no place for ourselves except the earth (i.e., the grave)."
