حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ , عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ الثَّقَفِيِّ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ , عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى , يَقُولُ : يَا عِبَادِي , كُلُّكُمْ مُذْنِبٌ إِلَّا مَنْ عَافَيْتُ , فَسَلُونِي الْمَغْفِرَةَ فَأَغْفِرَ لَكُمْ , وَمَنْ عَلِمَ مِنْكُمْ أَنِّي ذُو قُدْرَةٍ عَلَى الْمَغْفِرَةِ , فَاسْتَغْفَرَنِي بِقُدْرَتِي غَفَرْتُ لَهُ , وَكُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلَّا مَنْ هَدَيْتُ , فَسَلُونِي الْهُدَى أَهْدِكُمْ , وَكُلُّكُمْ فَقِيرٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَغْنَيْتُ , فَسَلُونِي أَرْزُقْكُمْ , وَلَوْ أَنَّ حَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ , وَأَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ , وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمُ اجْتَمَعُوا , فَكَانُوا عَلَى قَلْبِ أَتْقَى عَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِي لَمْ , يَزِدْ فِي مُلْكِي جَنَاحُ بَعُوضَةٍ , وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا فَكَانُوا عَلَى قَلْبِ أَشْقَى عَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِي , لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِنْ مُلْكِي جَنَاحُ بَعُوضَةٍ , وَلَوْ أَنَّ حَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ , وَأَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ , وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمُ اجْتَمَعُوا , فَسَأَلَ كُلُّ سَائِلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا بَلَغَتْ أُمْنِيَّتُهُ , مَا نَقَصَ مِنْ مُلْكِي إِلَّا كَمَا لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مَرَّ بِشَفَةِ الْبَحْرِ فَغَمَسَ فِيهَا إِبْرَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعَهَا , ذَلِكَ بِأَنِّي جَوَادٌ مَاجِدٌ عَطَائِي كَلَامٌ , إِذَا أَرَدْتُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Allah the Blessed and Exalted says: ‘O My slaves, all of you are sinners except those whom I have saved. So ask Me for forgiveness, I will forgive you. Whoever among you knows that I have the power to forgive and asks Me to forgive by My power, I will forgive him. All of you are astray except those whom I guide. Ask Me for guidance and I will guide you. All of you are poor except those whom I enrich (make independent of means). Ask of Me and I will grant you provision. Even if your living and your dead, your first and your last, your fresh and your dry, were all as pious as the most pious among My slaves, that would not increase my dominion as much as a gnat’s wing, and if they were to be as evil as the most evil among My slaves, that would not detract from My dominion as much as a gnat’s wing. Even if your living and your dead, your first and your last, your fresh and your dry, were to join together and each of them were to ask for all that he wishes for, that would only detract from My dominion as much as if one of you were to pass by the edge of the sea and dip a needle in it and withdraw it. That is because I am the Most Generous, Majestic. I give with a word; when I will something, all I do is say to it “Be!” – and it is.’”

“Allah, the Exalted, says: O My servants! I have made oppression unlawful for Myself and have made it unlawful among you as well. Therefore, do not oppress one another.

O My servants! If the first of you and the last of you, the humans among you and the jinn among you, were all to have the heart of the most righteous individual among you, that would not increase My dominion in the least.
O My servants! If the first of you and the last of you, the humans among you and the jinn among you, were all to have the heart of the most wicked individual among you, that would not decrease My dominion in the least.
O My servants! If the first of you and the last of you, the humans among you and the jinn among you, were all to stand together in one place and ask of Me, and I were to give each person what he requested, that would not diminish what I possess any more than a needle diminishes the sea when it is dipped into it.
O My servants! These are your deeds which I enumerate for you (and preserve for you), then I will recompense you fully for them (I will give you their full reward). So whoever finds good, let him praise Allah, and whoever finds otherwise, let him blame no one but himself.” (Sahih Muslim, al-Birr wa al-Silah, al-Adab, Chapter: The Prohibition of Oppression, Hadith: 2577)
