Sahih Muslim · 2577·Narrated by Abu Dharr (RA)

يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا فَلاَ تَظَالَمُوا يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلاَّ مَنْ هَدَيْتُهُ فَاسْتَهْدُونِي أَهْدِكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ جَائِعٌ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَطْعَمْتُهُ فَاسْتَطْعِمُونِي أُطْعِمْكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ عَارٍ إِلاَّ مَنْ كَسَوْتُهُ فَاسْتَكْسُونِي أَكْسُكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ

Translation

Narrated Abu Dharr (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said that Allah, the Exalted, said: "O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and made it forbidden among you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except whom I guide, so seek guidance from Me and I will guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except whom I feed, so ask Me for food and I will feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing and I will clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and by day and I forgive all sins, so seek My forgiveness and I will forgive you."
