The friend of Allah, hadith qudsi

Sunday, November 15, 1981

مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ آذَنْتُهُ بِالْحَرْبِ، وَمَا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِي بِشَيْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا افْتَرَضْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ
Transliteration

Man 'ada li waliyyan fa-qad adhantuhu bi-l-harb, wa ma taqarraba ilayya 'abdi bi-shay'in ahabba ilayya mimma-ftaradtuhu 'alayh.

Translation

Whoever takes a friend of Mine as an enemy, I declare war against him. My servant draws near to Me with nothing more beloved than the obligations I have placed upon him.

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (hadith qudsi)·Sahih al-Bukhari 6502·Nawawi's Forty · #38
Reflection

The hadith continues: voluntary worship brings you closer still, until Allah becomes the ear with which he hears and the eye with which he sees.
