Sayyidinah Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilaani Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu said:
"I saw iblis in a dream, where I was in the midst of a big crowd. I was on the point of killing him, when he said to me: 'Why are you going to kill me? What is my offense? If evil is entailed by destiny, I am powerless to change it and transform it into good, and if a good is entailed I cannot change it and transform it into evil. So what do I control?'
Hermaphroditic in appearance, he was soft spoken, with distorted features, wisps of hair on his chin, misshapen and deformed. When he smiled at me, the smile was bashful and apprehensive.
This happened on the night of Sunday, 12 th of Dhul Hijja in the year 516 [of the Hijra]."[/size]
