Sharh Usul Itiqad Ahl al-Sunnah wa-al-Jamaah - Al-Lalakai - (3/459)

696—Ubayd Allah ibn Ahmad and Muhammad ibn al-Husayn al-Farisi informed us; they said: Ahmad ibn Ali ibn al-Ula informed us; he said: Yusuf ibn Musa narrated to us; he said: Jarir narrated to us, from al-Amash, from Amr ibn Murrah, from Abu Ubaydah, from Abu Musa, who said ⦗460⦘: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood among us and spoke four statements, saying:

“Indeed, Allah neither sleeps, nor is it fitting for Him to sleep. He lowers the Scale and raises it. The deeds of the night are raised to Him before the deeds of the day, and the deeds of the day before the deeds of the night. His veil is fire; were He to remove it, the radiant splendor of His Face would burn up”—Abd Allah added—“everything His sight reaches.”

Muslim transmitted it.
