0:05
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him,
0:08
from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, regarding what he narrated from Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,
0:14
that He said:
0:16
"O My servants,
0:18
I have forbidden injustice for Myself,
0:22
and have made it forbidden among you,
0:25
so do not oppress one another.
0:27
O My servants,
0:29
all of you are astray except those whom I have guided,
0:33
so seek guidance from Me, and I shall guide you.
0:36
O My servants,
0:37
all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed,
0:42
so seek food from Me, and I shall feed you.
0:45
O My servants,
0:47
all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed,
0:51
so seek clothing from Me, and I shall clothe you.
0:54
O My servants,
0:56
you commit sins by night and by day,
0:59
and I forgive all sins,
1:03
so seek My forgiveness, and I shall forgive you.
1:06
O My servants,
1:08
you will never be able to harm Me so as to cause Me harm,
1:12
and you will never be able to benefit Me so as to cause Me benefit.
1:16
O My servants,
1:18
if the first of you and the last of you,
1:21
and all of your humans and jinn,
1:23
were to be as pious as the heart of a single man among you,
1:28
that would not add anything to My kingdom.
1:32
O My servants,
1:34
if the first of you and the last of you,
1:37
and all of your humans and jinn,
1:39
were to be as wicked as the heart of a single man among you,
1:43
that would not diminish anything from My kingdom.
1:47
O My servants,
1:49
if the first of you and the last of you,
1:52
and all of your humans and jinn,
1:54
were to stand in one place and ask of Me,
1:59
and I were to give every person what they asked for,
2:02
that would not diminish what I have,
2:06
any more than a needle decreases the ocean when it is dipped into it.
2:11
O My servants,
2:12
it is only your deeds that I record for you,
2:16
then I shall recompense you for them in full.
2:20
So whoever finds good, let him praise Allah,
2:24
and whoever finds otherwise,
2:26
let him blame no one but himself."
2:30
Narrated by Muslim.
2:34
This hadith illustrates the vastness of Allah’s mercy and His justice,
2:38
and that injustice is forbidden in all its forms.
2:41
It is not permissible for a person to transgress against others regarding their rights, wealth, or honor.
2:48
It also emphasizes the complete dependence of the servants upon Allah for guidance, provision, and forgiveness,
2:54
and that all goodness lies in the hand of Allah alone.
