English

Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, relaying from Allah the Exalted: "O My servants, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and have made it forbidden among you, so do not wrong one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I guide, so seek guidance from Me, and I shall guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I feed, so ask Me for sustenance, and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except those whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing, and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek My forgiveness, and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will never attain harming Me so as to harm Me, nor will you ever attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans and the jinn among you, were as pious as the most pious heart of any one of you, that would not increase My dominion in the slightest. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans and the jinn among you, were as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one of you, that would not decrease My dominion in the slightest. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans and the jinn among you, were to stand together in one place and ask of Me, and I were to give each one what he requested, that would not decrease what I possess any more than a needle decreases the sea when dipped into it. O My servants, it is only your deeds that I record for you and then recompense you for, so whoever finds good, let him praise Allah, and whoever finds other than that, let him blame no one but himself."
