nevertravelled:

I studied and became a teacher, a leader, but despite all my righteous intentions, I was still selfish, ambitious, manipulative, and even more arrogant. What’s happened over the past few months has humbled me. I have been humbled. But not by you. By God. Stripped of everything else, I have nothing left but Allah. And that is more than enough. Peace be unto you, my brother.

I say again: God had to do it, because no one else around is badder than Said.
