Ibrahim Ben Adham ( d. 777)

Ibrahim Ben Adham was prince of Balkh who became a sufi saint.

• Say not "tomorrow" or "the day after tomorrow" : for those that perished , perished because they abode always in their hopes, until the truth came upon them suddenly in their heedlessness; and willful as they were, they were carried to their dark, narrow graves, abandoned by all their kith and kin.
