The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us and spoke five statements. He said, "Allah, the Exalted, does not sleep, nor would it befit Him to sleep. He lowers the scale and raises it. The deeds of the night are raised to Him before the deeds of the day, and the deeds of the day before the deeds of the night. His veil is light. Were He to remove it, the splendors of His face would burn away everything His sight reached of His creation."
حدثنا أبو معاوية حدثنا الأعمش عن عمرو بن مرة عن أبي عبيدة
قام فينا رسول الله ﷺ بخمس كلمات فقال إن الله تعالى لا ينام ولا ينبغي له أن ينام ولكنه يخفض القسط ويرفعه يرفع إليه عمل الليل قبل عمل النهار وعمل النهار قبل عمل الليل حجابه النور لو كشفه لأحرقت سبحات وجهه ما انتهى إليه بصره من خلقه
