The statement of the servant ˹of Allah˺: "Allāhu Akbar (Allah is Greater)" is better than this world and what is in it.
قَوْلُ الْعَبْدِ (اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ) خيرٌ من الدنيا وما فيها۔
The statement of the servant ˹of Allah˺: "Allāhu Akbar (Allah is Greater)" is better than this world and what is in it.

Allah ﷻ ˹audits˺ his creation during the night of the middle of ˹month of ˺ Shaʿbān then forgives those seeking forgiveness and pardons those who are repenting, leaves the people of hate in their hatefulness, and forgives ˹others˺ except for the one who associates partners with Him or one filled with malice."
«يَطْلُعُ اللَّهُ تَبارَكَ وتَعالى عَلى خَلْقِهِ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِن شَعْبانَ فَيَغْفِرُ لِلْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ ويَتُوبُ عَلى التّائِبِينَ ويَدَعُ أهْلَ الحِقْدِ بِحِقْدِهِمْ، فَيَغْفِرُ إلّا لِمُشْرِكٍ أوْ مُشاحِنٍ۔»
O Son of Adam, I made you in your mother's womb, and covered your face with a covering so that you do not dislike the womb (family relations), and turned your face toward your mother's back so that the smell of the food does not bother you, and made you lie ˹comfortably˺ on your right side and your left side. As for what is on your right is the liver. As for what is above you is the spleen. And I taught you sitting and standing in your mother's womb. Thus who else is capable of such a thing other than me? And when your appointed time is elapsed, and we inspired the angel in the womb to deliver you, then he delivered you upon a feather from his wings.
You did not have teeth to chew or strength in your arms, nor strength in your feet to walk, so two thin veins in your mother's breast were released for you, running with pure milk that were warm in the winter and cool in the summer. And I put love for you in your parents' hearts. They do not take their fill ˹with food and drink˺ until you take your fill, and they do not sleep until you sleep. And when your back gained strength, you fought against me through sins while you were alone and you did not feel shy ˹to do so in front of˺ me. Even then, when you called upon me, I responded to you, and when you asked from me, I granted you, and if you repented and I accepted ˹your repentance˺.
يا ابن آدم جعلتك في بطن أمك، وغشيت وجهك بغشاء لئلا تنفر من الرحم، وجعلت وجهك إلى ظهر أمك لئلا تؤذيك رائحة الطعام، وجعلت لك متكأ عن يمينك ومتكأ عن شمالك، فأما الذي عن يمينك فالكبد، وأما الذي عن شمالك فالطحال، وعلمتك القيام والقعود في بطن أمك، فهل يقدر على ذلك غيري؟ فلما أن تمّت مدتك، وأوحيت إلى الملك بالأرحام أن يخرجك، فأخرجك على ريشة من جناحه۔
لا لك سن تقطع، ولا يد تبطش، ولا قدم تسعى، فانبعث لك عرقان رقيقان في صدر أمك يجريان لبنا خالصا، حارا في الشتاء وباردا في الصيف، وألقيت محبتك في قلب أبويك، فلا يشبعان حتى تشبع، ولا يرقدان حتى ترقد، فلما قوي ظهرك واشتد أزرك، بارزتني بالمعاصي في خلواتك، ولم تستح مني، ومع هذا إن دعوتني أجبتك، وإن سألتني أعطيتك، وإن تبت إليّ قبلتك
