It is a famous story of awliyas that Sayyid Ahmad al Badawi who was asking to reach and giving all power from himself as his effort, and he reached from one level to another, from another, to another and he was reaching to a level and he was asking to reach that level and opening for him.

One day he met Qutb az-Zamaan, the pole of that time who was authorized to be a means between servants and to reach heavenly levels. He reached with his efforts that level and asking, he was waiting for answer. One day the authorized one, the pole of awliyas, Qutb az-Zamaan was meet ing him and saying, "O Ahmad, what are you doing?". "I am occupied with my Lord's servanthood and I am giving every effort to reach an opening in heavenly stations". "O Ahmad! Come to me, I have keys for those levels, come to me your key is in my hands".

And Ahmad Badawi, may Allah bless him, was saying, inni Laa 'aakhudu l-miftaaha = Iwill not take the key except from him who is authorized, 'I am not taking the key from you but I am asking from my Lord Who keeps everything. I am asking you, I am taking from Him." That authorized one who was carrying the keys to authorized stations said, "O Ahmad, go and do as you like."
