عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَن
أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَن
أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ ، فَقَالَ :
" إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَا يَنَامُ ، وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنَامَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يَخْفِضُ الْقِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ ، يُرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ عَمَلُ اللَّيْلِ قَبْلَ عَمَلِ النَّهَارِ ، وَعَمَلُ النَّهَارِ قَبْلَ عَمَلِ اللَّيْلِ ، حِجَابُهُ النُّورُ ، لَوْ كَشَفَهُ لَأَحْرَقَتْ سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِهِ مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ بَصَرُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among us and mentioned five things, and they are: Allah Almighty does not sleep, nor does sleep befit Him. He lowers and raises the scale. The deeds of the night are presented before Him during the day, and the deeds of the day are presented before Him during the night. His veil is light; if He were to remove it, the entire creation would burn up as far as His gaze reaches.
