Hadith: Allah the Almighty Does Not Oppress His Servants


📖 Abu Dharr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah the Almighty said: 'O My servants, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and I have forbidden it (oppression, injustice) among you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except for those whom I have guided, so seek guidance from Me (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) and I shall guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those whom I have fed, so seek food from Me (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except for those whom I have clothed, so seek clothing from Me (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and day and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness from Me (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you are unable to harm Me and you are unable to bring benefit to Me (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala). 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 anyone of you, that would not increase My dominion at all. 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 anyone of you, that would not decrease My dominion at all. 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 diminish what I have any more than a needle would diminish the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is only your deeds that I record and then recompense for you. Let him who finds good praise Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala), and let him who finds something else blame no one but himself."
