FRIEND & ENEMY

One day Yahya (A.S) met with Shaitan the accursed. He asked, “Tell me, who is your friend and who is your enemy?” Shaitan said, “ My friend is he who though a believer is mean and stingy at heart. My enemy is one who is large-hearted and generous, though he may disbelieve.”

“And why is that?” asked Yahya (A.S) “It is because I have hope of deflecting the stingy believer from his belief through the tightness of his heart and his meanness. But the generous unbeliever is my enemy, for inspite his evil-doing he possesses an important virtue: that of generosity. This quality may in the end lead him to faith. The stinginess of the believer is enough to make him mine, but the generosity of the unbeliever makes me afraid that one day he will repent of his unbelief, and the Lord will accept his repentance, and make him His friend. And another thing: If it hadn’t been you, Yahya, asking me this question, never would I have given an answer.” – LORE OF Light
