“I heard a Bedouin in his prayer supplicating and saying: ‘My Lord, whenever I tried to imagine the vastness of Your mercy on the Day of Resurrection, the sweet note of Your pardon was already filling my ears, saying: “I have forgiven you.” So do not dash the breadth of my hope or the sincerity of my good opinion of You.’”
