Were you to go to the door of the governor, he would not receive you or give you any attention, perhaps he will even prevent you from getting near him.  But the King of kings is saying ‘Whoever comes to me walking, I will go to him running,’ yet you turn away from Him and run after another!

—Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī
