Sufi "Saint" Abul Hasan Kharaqani Feels Shame in Obeying the Prophet (A.S) معاذ الله

The Sufi “saint” Fariduddin Attar (1110-1221), in his book Tadkirat ul-Awliya mentions some of the annals of another Sufi who preceded him, Abul-Hasan al-Kharaqani (d. 1033). According to what he has narrated, Kharaqani had many statements of undeniable Kufr and Shirk. According to one, Kharaqani reportedly said to Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni:

میں تو اطیعو اللہ میں ایسا غرق ہوں کہ اطیعو الرسول میں بھی ندامت محسوس کرتا ہوں۔

“I am so drowned in the obedience of Allah that I even feel shame in being under the obedience of the Rasul.”
