[Machine] Dharr was older than Abu Wail, and whenever they sat together, Abu Wail would not speak with Dharr. I would hear Abu Wail, when he was alone in his house, saying in his prostration, "Lord, forgive me, Lord, have mercy on me, for if you forgive me, you forgive me abundantly from Your side, and if You punish me, You punish me without injustice or haste." Then he would weep, with intense weeping that I have never seen anyone else do.
