[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite, "And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. He admits whom He wills into His mercy."[Quran 2:105] He said, "Your Lord says, 'I am worthy of being feared, that I should have another deity with Me, while I am worthy of being worshipped by those who fear Me, that I should have another deity with them, that I should forgive him.'"

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ {وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ} قَالَ يَقُولُ رَبُّكُمْ ﷻ أَنَا أَهْلٌ أَنْ أُتَّقَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مَعِي إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَأَنَا أَهْلٌ لِمَنِ اتَّقَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مَعِي إِلَهًا آخَرَ أَنْ أَغْفِرَ لَهُ
