Allah revealed to Jesus : ‘O, Jesus , it is (obligatory) upon you to follow the path of the predecessors, so that you join the group of the Prophets. O, brothers of the warners, tell your people not to enter any of my houses except with pure hearts, clean hands and humbled eyes. For verily, I do not hear the prayers of a supplicant who has usurped the right of any of my servants, nor do I answer the prayers of the one who owes me an unfulfilled duty.’ (as narrated by Imam Ali (AS) attributed in al-amali, ch. 16, #1)

salaam
i would advise not hugging this one… it is like the most prickly cactus i’ve come across — the needles will stick to you, and cut through thick hiking socks, sweaters, boots…. if you hug it, you can be assured that this will stick to you for a long long time.

Malangbaba, you want to hug it because it looks like a bear, right?

CSS — it is a blog-website —
malang: you wanna hug this cactus? don’t let those open arms deceive you — it took me two hours to take out the needles that stuck to my sweater - while taking some of these photographs!
