Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him)
reported that the messenger of Allah (PBUH), among the
sayings he related from his Lord (may He be
glorified), informed that He (Allah the exalted) said:
*O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself
and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not
oppress one another.
O My servants, all of you are astray except for those
I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall
guide you,
O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those
I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O
My servants,all of you are naked except for those I
have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall
clothe you.
O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I
forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I
shall forgive you.
O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to
harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to
benefit Me.
O My servants, were the first of you and the last of
you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as
pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you,
that would not increase My kingdom in anything.
O My servants, were the first of you and the last of
you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as
wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you,
that would not decrease My kingdom in anything.
O My servants, were the first of you and the last of
you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up
in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to
give everyone what he requested, that would not
decrease what I have, any more that a needle decreases
the sea
if put into it.
O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up
for you and then recompense you for, so let him who
finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other
that blame no one but himself.
