Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullaah] said that Abu Hafs [rahimahullaah] said, ”The best of that which a slave seeks a means of closeness to his Mawlaa [his Protector, Patron, Supporter (i.e. Allaah)] is to be constantly in need of Him in all circumstances, holding onto the Sunnah in all his actions and seeking nourishment [i.e. food] through permissible means.” [Tareequl Hijratayn: page 59]
