[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When Allah created the mind, He said to it, 'Come forward,' so it came forward. Then He said to it, 'Go back,' so it went back. He said, 'By My Honor! I have not created any creation more amazing to Me than you. You will be given reward because of you, and punishment will be upon you.'"
