Hazrat Sirmah bin Abi Anas Ansaari Najjaari (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was attracted to tauheed from the very beginning, and he abhorred and shunned kufr and shirk.

Once, he even intended to embrace Christianity, but then changed his mind (most probably on account of the shirk beliefs of the Christians).

He was a great aabid (a devoted worshipper) and zaahid (one who is disinterested in the dunya). He lived the simple life of an ascetic. He never wore fine clothing, rather he was always dressed in rough, course clothing.
