Even though Paradise and Hell did not matter to the devotees of
mystical love, they were well aware that their deeds would bear
fruit, and one of the favorite sayings attributed to the Prophet was
constantly repeated by the moderate mystics: "This world is the
seedbed for the Otherworld." Every act bears fruit by helping or
hindering the adept in his progress toward his goal, and "if you
plant colocynth (Abu Jahl Melon), no sugarcane will grow out of it" (D 1337).
