   Ibraheem Bin Ad`ham said to a man who was making tawaaf:

�You will never attain the elevated ranks of the pious (i.e. the
Auliyaa) as long as you have not traversed six difficult valleys. First
Valley - The closing of the door of bounties and the opening of the
door of hardship. Second Valley - Closing of the door of honour and
opening of the door of disgrace. Third Valley - Closing of the door of
comfort and opening of the door of toil. Fourth Valley - Closing of the
door of sleep and opening of the door of wakefulness during the night.
Fifth Valley - Closing of the door of wealth and opening of the doorof
poverty. Sixth Valley - Closing of the door of wishes and opening of
the door of preparations for Maut (death).�
