[Machine] Ibn Mas'ud used to say, "O Originator, there is no beginning for You, and O Eternal, there is no end for You. O Ever-Living, O One who revives the dead, You alone are the sustainer of every soul according to its own actions."  

الطبراني:٨٨٩٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَجَاءَ أَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَوْنٍ

أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَ يَقُولُ «يَا بَادِئُ لَا بَدْءَ لَكَ وَيَا دَائِمُ لَا نَفَاذَ لَكَ وَيَا حَيُّ مُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى أَنْتَ الْقَائِمُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ»
