SPREAD OF ISLAM

SUFIS;

Hasan Al-Basri

When Hasan Al-Basri was young, he cried whenever he wasn’t near his mom. Because of this, she breast-fed him for an extremely long time and would take him out. There he would cling to the Companions of the Prophet and he would pray with them crying. This showed how the Qu’ran deeply touched him at a young age.
