Your favor upon me, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me.” Likewise, in the authentic hadith in which Allah says: “O My servants, it is only your deeds that I record for you, then recompense you for them in full. Whoever finds good should praise Allah, and whoever finds otherwise should blame no one but himself.”

This led some spiritual aspirants to abandon supplication, while others regarded reliance upon Allah, love, and the like as spiritual stations of ordinary people. We have discussed these and similar errors elsewhere.
