Allah is shy to return empty hands

Thursday, May 13, 2021

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ، يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا
Transliteration

Inna Rabbakum hayiyyun karim, yastahyi min 'abdihi idha rafa'a yadayhi ilayhi an yaruddahuma sifra.

Translation

Your Lord is Shy and Generous — He is shy, when His servant raises his hands to Him, to return them empty.

Narrated by Salman al-Farisi·Sunan Abi Dawud 1488, Jami' at-Tirmidhi 3556 (hasan)
Reflection

Raise them anyway. Raise them often. Raise them at strange hours. Generosity is His attribute, not an event.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
