Pearl of Wisdom

when asked by his companion Abu Ba Ir whether the spirit remains with the body during sleep or leaves it, replied, 'No, O Abu Ba Ir, verily if the spirit were to leave the body it would never again return to it. It is actually like the sun that is fixed in its place in the centre of the sky, yet its rays extend out to the earth.'
