Imam Abu Al-Abbas Shams-ud-Din Ahmad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Khalqanat (d. 681 AH) writes:
When Hazrat Ibrahim (Bin Adham) passed by the Bazaar of Basra, the people gathered around him. They said: O Abu Ishaq (this is the surname of Hazrat Ibrahim Bin Adham). Call and I will answer your prayer. "
And we have been praying for a long time and our prayer is not accepted, then Hazrat Ibrahim bin Adham replied, your heart is dead because of ten things.
(1) You have known Allah but you have not fulfilled His right.
(2) You read the Holy Qur'an but did not act on it.
(3) You claimed the love of the Messenger of Allah, but you abandoned his Sunnah.
(4) You claimed Satan's enmity, but you agreed.** *
(5) You said that you love heaven, but you did not do it.
(6) You said, "We are afraid of fire," but you took your souls to it.
(7) You said death is the truth but you did not prepare for it.
(8) You engaged in the faults of your brothers, but you forgot your faults.
(9) You ate the blessings of Allah but did not give thanks for these blessings.
(10) You buried your dead, but you did not learn from them.

May Allah bless us all with liveliness and help us to act on these words, Amen.
