“If you want to walk our path then you must take on four attributes of death:
1. White death
2. Black death
3. Red death and
4. Green death
As to the white death, it is hunger;
The black death is the ability to withstand pain caused by people;

And the green death is to ‘wear patched materials one on top of the other’.

Rabia Al-Adawiya [Born 100 Hijra / 717 CE and died 135 Hijra / 796 CE]
