Muhammad Ibn Wasi' Al-Azdi

Muhammad Ibn Wasi' Al-Azdi (d.ca.744 or 751) was a tabi'i Islamic scholar of hadith, judge, and soldier who was noted for his asceticism (zuhd). His statement, 'I never saw anything without seeing Allah therein' was much discussed by later Sufis. He fought under Qutaybah Ibn Muslim (d.715) during the Ummayad conquest of Transoxiana, and later became a judge.

There is a story that claims that a Muslim saw in a dream Malik Bin Deenar and Ibn Wasi being led into Jenna, and noticed that Malik was more honoured and allowed to enter first. When he enquired, noting that he believed Ibn Wasi' was the more noble, he was told that that it was true, "but Mohammed ibn Wasi possessed two shirts, and Malik only one. That is the reason why Malik is preferred".
