Zun-Noon relates, whilst I was walking the mountains of Intakia I saw a girl who looked insane, wearing a gown made out of wool. I greeted her with Salaam. She replied accordingly and then said, "Are you Zun- Noon?" I replied, "How did you recognise me?" She replied, "Through Allah's recognition".
She then asked, "What is generosity?" I replied to her, "To give". She added, "That is in regards to worldly things. What is it in regards to Deen?" I replied, "To hasten to the obedience of the creator", She pursued, "When you hasten to the creator do you seek a reward?" I replied, "For every single deed, a reward multiplied by ten". "This is considered bad in love", she remarked. "Hasten to God in such a manner that when he looks into your heart he sees that you want nothing from him in return. Oh Zun Noon I have been waiting for 20 years but I am ashamed to ask fearing that I become like a bad labourer, one who wants his wage as soon as he has done his work. I work only to seek his honour and glory".
