A Question About Piety to Abu Huraira, May God Be Pleased with Him

A man came to Abu Huraira, may God be pleased with him, and asked: What does piety mean? Abu Huraira replied with a question: Have you ever walked on a path full of thorns? The man said: Yeah, I have. He said: And how did you walk on it? The man said: I saw the thorns and stayed away from them, or stepped over them, or avoided them. So Abu Huraira, may God be pleased with him, said: That’s piety.

I wish we could truly live by taqwa, for real-not just talk. May Allah keep us steadfast.

You reminded me of the hadith: "Be mindful of God wherever you are," so piety is a constant watchfulness.

Even if you walk carefully, a thorn's bound to snag you, so what about sins!

Taqwa is like, you see sins as if they're thorns and you just stay away from them.
