Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَنَامُ وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنَامَ يَخْفِضُ الْقِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ حِجَابُهُ النَّارُ لَوْ كَشَفَهَا لَأَحْرَقَتْ سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَدْرَكَهُ بَصَرُهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ { نُودِيَ أَنْ بُورِكَ مَنْ فِي النَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ }.
English Translation
Waki' told us: al-Mas'udi told us, from Amr b. Murra, from Abu Ubayda, from Abu Musa, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah, Mighty and Majestic, does not sleep, and it is not fitting for Him to sleep. He lowers the scale and raises it. His veil is Fire - were He to remove it, the splendor of His Face would burn up everything His sight reached." Then Abu Ubayda recited: "It was called out: Blessed is whoever is in the Fire and whoever is around it, and glory be to Allah, Lord of the worlds."
