Then I -azwj Snatched it from him, but he did not ask Me -azwj for its return, and asked others. أَ فَيَرَانِي أَبْدَأُ بِالْعَطَاءِ قَبْلَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ ثُمَّ أُسْأَلُ فَلَا أُجِيبُ سَائِلِي أَ بَخِيلٌ أَنَا فَيُبَخِّلُنِي عَبْدِي أَ وَ لَيْسَ الْجُودُ وَ الْكَرَمُ لِي أَ وَ لَيْسَ الْعَفْوُ وَ الرَّحْمَةُ بِيَدِي أَ وَ لَيْسَ أَنَا مَحَلَّ الْآمَالِ فَمَنْ يَقْطَعُهَا دُونِي أَ فَلَا يَخْشَى الْمُؤَمِّلُونَ أَنْ يُؤَمِّلُوا غَيْرِي Does a servant view Me -azwj that I -azwj would Given him before the asking even?
(if so) then he would be asking, but I -azwj would not Answer the one who asks Me -azwj ? Am I -azwj Stingy, so that I -azwj would be Stingy to My -azwj servant? Or, is not the Generosity and Benevolence for Me -azwj ? Or is not the Pardoning and the Mercy in My -azwj Hands? Or am I -azwj not a Respiter of the deeds? So the one who cuts off besides Me -azwj , does he not fear the working if he were to work for other than Me -azwj !
Thus, if the inhabitants of My -azwj skies, and the inhabitants of My -azwj earth were to work altogether, then if I -azwj were to Give one of them the like of what all of them had worked for, there would be no reduction from My -azwj Possessions by a part of a particle. And how can there be a reduction of a Kingdom and I -azwj am its Establisher. So how miserable it is for the despondents from My -azwj Mercy!
And how miserable it is for the ones who disobey Me -azwj and are not looking at Me -azwj (in expectation)’. [14] Seek Assistance from Allah -azwj : قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللَّهِ وَاصْبِرُوا ۖ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۖ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ {128} Musa said to his people, ‘Seek Assistance with Allah and be patient.
