I read that Fudayl Ibn Iyadh swore by Allah that if u lose hope in people to the point where u don’t want anything from them, Allah will give you everything you want Jami Al-Ulum Wal-Hikam 462. Can you pls explain what this means? Not even hoping for love, care and emotional closeness from friends?
