"A group of religious leaders came to Rabi’a. She asked one of them: ‘Why do you worship the Lord?’ He replied: ‘There are seven levels of hell, which I regard with great fear and dread; I wish to avoid passing through them.’ She asked another man the same question. He replied: ‘There are many levels of paradise, where there is much joy; I wish to dwell in one of the levels.’ Rabi’a said: ‘It is wrong to worship God from fear of punishment, or from hope of reward.’"
- Attar, “Rabi’a”
