[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ in what he narrates from his Lord ﷻ: "Indeed, I have forbidden oppression upon myself and upon My servants. So, do not oppress one another. All of the children of Adam are prone to error, day and night, but they who seek forgiveness from Me are forgiven and it is of no concern to Me. O children of Adam, all of you are astray except those whom I have guided. And all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed. And all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed. So, seek from Me and I will provide for you. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the jinn of you and the humans of you, the young of you and the old of you, the males of you and the females of you, and the clean of you and the impure of you—all of you were to stand upon the heart of the most righteous among you, then that would not increase My dominion over you in anything. And if the first of you and the last of you, the jinn of you and the humans of you, the young of you and the old of you, the males of you and the females of you, and the clean of you and the impure of you—all of you were to stand upon the heart of the most wicked among you, then that would not decrease My dominion over you in anything. For My dominion is like the ocean, and the needle of a sewing machine is like your dominion."

"O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.

"O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit Me. 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 any one man of you, that would not increase My dominion in anything.

[Machine] On the authority of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, who said: "O my servants, you sin 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 not attain harm to Me, so harm Me not. O my servants, you are all hungry except those whom I feed, so seek food from Me and I shall feed you. O my servants, you are all naked except those whom I clothe, so seek clothing from Me and I shall clothe you. O my servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness from Me and I shall forgive you. O my servants, if the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you, were to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not cause any loss to Me greater than that which is caused by the dipping of a needle into the sea. O my servants, it is but your deeds that I account for you, and then recompense you for. So let him who finds good praise Allāh, and let him who finds other than that blame no one except himself."
