Sarree al-Saqtee Rehmatullah Alaihi writes about another woman: “When she stood up for Tahajjud she would say, ‘0 Allah! Shaitan is but thy creation. Thou hast full power over him. He sees me and I cannot see him. Thou seest him and hast control over all his actions, while he has no control over Thee. 0 Allah! Save me from the evil that he wishes to do me, prevent the wrong he may do to deceive me. I seek Thy refuge, from his evil designs, and with Thy help I drive him away’. Thereafter she would cry bitterly. And as a result thereof she lost the sight of one eye. People warned her to stop excessive weeping lest she should lose her other eye as well. She replied, If it is destined to be an eye in Jannah, Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) will grant me better than this; but if it be destined for Jahannam then the sooner it is lost the better.’
