حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ أُخْتِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ مُذْنِبٌ إِلَّا مَنْ عَافَيْتُ فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَمَنْ عَلِمَ أَنِّي أَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَغْفِرَةِ فَاسْتَغْفَرَنِي بِقُدْرَتِي غَفَرْتُ لَهُ وَلَا أُبَالِ وَكُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلَّا مَنْ هَدَيْتُ فَاسْتَهْدُونِي أَهْدِكُمْ وَكُلُّكُمْ فَقِيرٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَغْنَيْتُ فَاسْأَلُونِي أُغْنِكُمْ وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَحَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمْ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَشْقَى قَلْبٍ مِنْ قُلُوبِ عِبَادِي مَا نَقَصَ فِي مُلْكِي جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ وَلَوْ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَتْقَى قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِي مَا زَادَ فِي مُلْكِي مِنْ جَنَاحِ بَعُوضَةٍ وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَحَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمْ اجْتَمَعُوا فَسَأَلَنِي كُلُّ سَائِلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا بَلَغَتْ أُمْنِيَّتُهُ فَأَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ سَائِلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا سَأَلَ مَا نَقَصَنِي كَمَا لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مَرَّ بِشَفَةِ الْبَحْرِ فَغَمَسَ فِيهِ إِبْرَةً ثُمَّ انْتَزَعَهَا كَذَلِكَ لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ مُلْكِي ذَلِكَ بِأَنِّي جَوَادٌ مَاجِدٌ صَمَدٌ عَطَائِي كَلَامٌ وَعَذَابِي كَلَامٌ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرٌ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ غَنْمٍ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ يَا عَبْدِي مَا عَبَدْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي فَإِنِّي غَافِرٌ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ وَيَا عَبْدِي إِنْ لَقِيتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطِيئَةً مَا لَمْ تُشْرِكْ بِي لَقِيتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً وَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ مُذْنِبٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَنَا عَافَيْتُهُ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ بِأَنِّي جَوَادٌ وَاجِدٌ مَاجِدٌ إِنَّمَا عَطَائِي كَلَامٌ.
English Translation
Ammar ibn Muhammad, son of the sister of Sufyan al-Thawri, from Layth ibn Abi Sulaym, from Shahr ibn Hawshab, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanm, from Abu Dharr, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "O My servants, all of you are sinners except those whom I have spared, so seek My forgiveness and I will forgive you. Whoever knows that I am able to forgive and seeks My forgiveness by My power, I forgive him and do not mind. All of you are astray except those whom I have guided, so seek My guidance and I will guide you. All of you are poor except those whom I have enriched, so ask Me and I will enrich you. If the first of you and the last of you, the living among you and the dead, the moist among you and the dry, were to gather together upon the most wretched heart among the hearts of My servants, it would not decrease My dominion by a mosquito's wing; and if they were to gather together upon the most pious heart of a servant among My servants, it would not increase My dominion by a mosquito's wing. And if the first of you and the last of you, the living among you and the dead, the moist among you and the dry, were to gather together and every asker among them were to ask Me for the utmost of his wish, and I gave every asker among them what he asked, that would not diminish what I have any more than if one of you were to pass by the edge of the sea and dip a needle into it and then pull it out - that is how little it would diminish My dominion - because I am Generous, Glorious, Self-Sufficient; My giving is a word and My punishment is a word. When I want a thing, I only say to it 'Be,' and it is." Hashim ibn al-Qasim told us: Abd al-Hamid told us: Shahr told us: Ibn Ghanm told me that Abu Dharr told him, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'O My servant, so long as you worship Me and hope in Me, I will forgive you for whatever was in you. And O My servant, if you meet Me with sins equal to the fill of the earth, so long as you have not associated anything with Me, I will meet you with forgiveness equal to it.'" And Abu Dharr said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "O My servants, all of you are sinners except those whom I have spared" - and he mentioned something similar, except that he said: "that is because I am Generous, Bountiful, Glorious; My giving is only a word."
