There was a sufi of Türkmen origin called Baýezit-i Bestami. He left us a myriad of words of wisdom and stories. Here is one:

Ebu Musa asks Baýezit the Sheikh:

“O, Our Master, what do you plan to do tomorrow?”

The Sheikh says:

“I know nothing about tomorrow or tonight because Allah said to me:

‘O Baýezit! There are various prayers and services rendered to my Treasury. If you wish to arrive before me, bring me something that is not already with me.’

I asked then:

‘O Allah, the Merciful! The Almighty! What is there that is not with you?’

Allah said:

‘Hopelessness and weakness, poverty and neediness, being offended and miserable are not with me or in my Treasury. Because these are not the things I need.’ Allah is the Undisturbed. Allah is Great. Allah is to be praised with good words only. Allah’s will is an obligation upon the Türkmen.”
