And his sanctity in death is like his sanctity in life." Abu Ja'far humbled himself and said to Malik, "O Abu Ubaydullah, should I face the Qiblah and supplicate, or should I turn toward the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)?" Malik replied, "Why do you turn your face away from him when he is your means and the means of your father Adam to Allah, the Exalted, on the Day of Resurrection? Rather, face him and seek intercession through him, and Allah will intercede for you, for he will accept your intercession on your behalf."

- .... And he praised some people, saying: {Indeed, those who lower their voices in the presence of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)} (Surah al-Hujurat 49:3), and he admonished others, saying: {Indeed, those who call you from behind the chambers are mostly lacking in understanding} (Surah al-Hujurat 49:4). And his sanctity in death is like his sanctity in life. So, Abu Ja'far humbled himself before this and said: "O Abu Abdillah, should I face the Qibla and pray, or should I turn to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)?" He replied: "Why do you turn your face away from him, when he is your intercessor and the intercessor of your father Adam (peace be upon him) before Allah, the Exalted, on the Day of Resurrection? Rather, face him and seek intercession through him, and Allah will grant you His intercession." Allah, the Exalted, said: {And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, and sought forgiveness from Allah, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Accepting of repentance, Merciful} (Surah an-Nisa 4:64). Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "Ayub al-Sakhtiyani would weep until he made those around him weep if the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) was mentioned."
