Hadith of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (RA)

حديث أبي ذر الغفاري رضي الله عنه

Hadith 937:151

Hajjaj narrated to us, Fatar narrated to us, from al-Mundhir, from Abu Dharr, the meaning: "O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I have guided, so seek guidance from Me and I shall guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed, so seek food from Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed, so seek clothing from Me and I shall clothe you. 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. O My servants, you will never attain the ability to harm Me so as to harm Me, and you will never attain the ability to benefit Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans among you and the jinn among you, were to be as pious as the heart of the most pious man among you, that would not add anything to My dominion. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans among you and the jinn among you, were to be as wicked as the heart of the most wicked man among you, that would not diminish anything from My dominion. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the humans among you and the jinn among you, were to stand in one place and ask of Me, and I were to give every person what he asked for, that would not decrease what I have, any more than a needle decreases the sea when it is dipped into it. O My servants, it is only your deeds that I record for you, then I shall recompense you for them. So whoever finds good, let him praise Allah, and whoever finds other than that, let him blame none but himself."
