Al-Dhahabı describes Al-Fudayl b. ıAyyıd as an Imım, an example, and Shaykh Al-Islım. He is renowned as one of the pious Salaf, and many wise and inspiring statements are related from him. Allıh have mercy on him. Here is the story of how he made tawbah. Al-Fadl b. Mısı reports: Al-Fudayl b. ıAyyıd used to be a highwayman, between Abyırd and Sarkhas. He was in love with a girl, and the cause of his repentance was that he was once climbing a wall to meet her when he heard someone reciting the following verses: Has not the time come for those who believe, that their hearts should be humbled and submitted (to Allah)ı? [Al-Hadıd: 16] When he heard this, Al-Fudayl said, ıIndeed my Lord, it is time.ı So he left, and seeking a nightıs shelter he found himself at some ruins, and there he saw some travelers. Some of them said, ıWe should move on.ı Others said, ıWait until morning, Al-Fudayl operates in this area, he will rob us.ı Al-Fudayl said, ıSo I thought and said to myself: I spend the night in sin and there are some Muslims here who fear me; I think that Allah only led me to them so that I might take lesson and stop what I am doing. O Allah! I have repented, and as part of my tawbah I will live next to Al-Bayt Al-Harım (in Makkah).ı Al-Dhahabı, Siyar Aılım Al-Nubalı` in his biography of Al-Fudayl b. ıAyyıd Umm yahya bint muhammed
