Hadith of the Messenger of Allah Almighty ﷺ
Hadith Qudsi – “O My Servants”:
عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيمَا يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:
يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا فَلَا تَظَالَمُوا
يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا فَلَا تَظَالَمُوا
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden among you, so do not wrong one another.
يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلَّا مَنْ هَدَيْتُهُ فَاسْتَهْدُونِي أَهْدِكُمْ
O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I have guided, so seek My guidance and I shall guide you.
يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ جَائِعٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَطْعَمْتُهُ فَاسْتَطْعِمُونِي أُطْعِمْكُمْ
O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed, so ask Me for food and I shall feed you. <
يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ عَارٍ إِلَّا مَنْ كَسَوْتُهُ فَاسْتَكْسُونِي أَكْسُكُمْ
O My servants, all of you are unclothed except those whom I have clothed, so ask Me for clothing and I shall clothe you.
يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ
O My servants, you commit sins by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness from Me and I shall forgive you.
يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَبْلُغُوا ضَرِّي فَتَضُرُّونِي وَلَنْ تَبْلُغُوا نَفْعِي فَتَنْفَعُونِي
O My servants, you will never be able to harm Me so as to harm Me, nor will you ever be able to benefit Me so as to benefit Me.
يَا عِبَادِي لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ كَانُوا عَلَى أَتْقَى قَلْبِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَا زَادَ ذَلِكَ فِي مُلْكِي شَيْئًا
O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as pious as the most pious heart among you, that would not increase My dominion in the least.
يَا عِبَادِي لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ كَانُوا عَلَى أَفْجَرِ قَلْبِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ مَا نَقَصَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مُلْكِي شَيْئًا
O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as wicked as the most wicked heart among you, that would not decrease My dominion in the least.
يَا عِبَادِي لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ قَامُوا فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَأَلُونِي فَأَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ مَسْأَلَتَهُ مَا نَقَصَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا عِنْدِي إِلَّا كَمَا يَنْقُصُ الْمِخْيَطُ إِذَا أُدْخِلَ الْبَحْرَ
O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans of you and the jinn of you, were to stand together on a single plain and ask of Me, and I were to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have except as a needle decreases the sea when it is inserted into it.
يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ أُحْصِيهَا لَكُمْ ثُمَّ أُوَفِّيكُمْ إِيَّاهَا فَمَنْ وَجَدَ خَيْرًا فَلْيَحْمَدْ اللَّهَ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ
O My servants, it is but your deeds that I record for you and then recompense you for them. So whoever finds good, let him praise Allah Almighty, and whoever finds otherwise, let him blame no one but himself.
Abu Dharr (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said that Allah Almighty said:
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden among you, so do not wrong one another.
O My servants, all of you are misguided except those whom I guide, so seek My guidance and I shall guide you.
O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I feed, so ask Me for food and I shall feed you.
O My servants, all of you are without clothing except those whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing and I shall clothe you.
O My servants, you commit sins day and night, and I am the One who forgives all sins, so seek forgiveness from Me and I shall forgive you.
O My servants, you have no power to harm Me or benefit Me.
O My servants, if the first and the last of you, humans and jinn, had the most pious heart among you, that would not increase My kingdom in the least.
O My servants, if the first and the last of you, humans and jinn, had the most wicked heart among you, that would not decrease My kingdom in the least.
O My servants, if the first and the last of you, humans and jinn, were to gather in one place and ask of Me, and I gave everyone what they asked, that would not diminish what I have except as the needle decreases the sea when dipped into it.
O My servants, it is your deeds that I record for you and then repay you in full. Whoever finds good should praise Allah Almighty, and whoever finds otherwise should blame none but himself.
(Sahih Muslim 2577)
