Abu Asma says: I went to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was at the place of Rabdha, and a black woman was sitting beside him, on whom there was no trace of saffron or perfume. He said: Do you not see what this black woman is commanding me to do? She tells me to go to Iraq, and if I go to Iraq, people will be inclined towards me with their worldly matters, whereas my beloved (peace and blessings be upon him) had informed me that before the Bridge of Sirat over Hell, there is a slippery path, and we have to pass through it. If we are light of burdens, it is more likely that we will be saved from there, as compared to if we go there burdened.
