حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ الثَّقَفِيَّ، عَنْ شَهْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ: يَا عِبَادِي، كُلُّكُمْ مُذْنِبٌ إِلَّا مَنْ عَافَيْتُ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ، وَمَنْ عَلِمَ مِنْكُمْ أَنِّي ذُو قُدْرَةٍ عَلَى الْمَغْفِرَةِ فَاسْتَغْفَرَنِي بِقُدْرَتِي، غَفَرْتُ لَهُ وَلَا أُبَالِي، وَكُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلَّا مَنْ هَدَيْتُ، فَسَلُونِي الْهُدَى أَهْدِكُمْ، وَكُلُّكُمْ فَقِيرٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَغْنَيْتُ، فَسَلُونِي أَرْزُقْكُمْ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ حَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ وَأُولَاكُمْ وَأُخْرَاكُمْ، وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمْ، اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى قَلْبِ أَتْقَى عَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِي لَمْ يَزِيدُوا فِي مُلْكِي جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ حَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ، وَأُوَّلَكُمْ وَآَخِرَكُمْ، (١) وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمْ اجْتَمَعُوا فَسَأَلَ كُلُّ سَائِلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا بَلَغَتْ أُمْنِيَّتُهُ، وَأَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ سَائِلٍ مَا سَأَلَ، لَمْ يَنْقُصْنِي، إِلَّا كَمَا لَوْ مَرَّ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى شَفَةِ الْبَحْرِ، فَغَمَسَ إِبْرَةً ثُمَّ انْتَزَعَهَا، ذَلِكَ لِأَنِّي جَوَادٌ مَاجِدٌ وَاجِدٌ، أَفْعَلُ مَا أَشَاءُ، عَطَائِي كَلَامٌ، (٢) وَعَذَابِي كَلَامٌ، (٢) إِذَا أَرَدْتُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ لَهُ:، ، كُنْ فَيَكُونُ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah Almighty says, "O My servants! All of you are sinners except the one whom I grant well-being, so seek forgiveness from Me, I will forgive you. And whoever believes that I have the power to forgive and seeks forgiveness from Me through My power, I forgive him and do not mind. Each one of you is astray except the one whom I guide, so seek guidance from Me, I will grant you guidance. Each one of you is poor except the one whom I make rich, so seek richness from Me, I will grant you richness. If all of you, the first and the last, the living and the dead, the moist and the dry, were to become like the heart of My most wicked servant, it would not decrease My kingdom by as much as the wing of a mosquito. And if all of you, the first and the last, the living and the dead, the moist and the dry, were to gather upon the heart of My most pious servant, it would not increase My kingdom by as much as the wing of a mosquito. If all of you, the first and the last, the living and the dead, the moist and the dry, were to gather together and each one of you were to ask Me for whatever his desire reaches, and I were to give each one what he asked for, it would not diminish My treasures any more than if one of you were to pass by the seashore, dip a needle into it, and then take it out—My kingdom would not be diminished by even that much. For I am exceedingly generous, great, and independent. My giving is by a single word, and My punishment also comes by a single word. When I intend something, I say 'Be,' and it comes into existence."
