Question:
I was in the company of a very pious Arab Shaykh. It was a hot sunny day and he was dressed in white clothes and was teaching some students martial arts. I was watching him in the company of a few ladies. Soon he came towards us. There was a round earthen vessel containing cool fresh water. I dipped a bowl in the water and offered him drink as he looked thirsty. Instead of taking the bowl, he bent forward and silently drank from the bowl in my hands. I felt very shy. He then went back to continue training his students. I then offered the water to other ladies out of which one of them drank from it. I was about to drink when I woke up.
Answer:
Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-l lāhi r-rahmāni r-rahīm
It shows that you are under the guidance and training of one of Awliya’ullah who will dress you with the knowledge of tazkiyatun nafs that you will spread around you insh Allah.
And Allah knows best.
