The Greatest Master Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi

The glorious Messenger, may Divine Peace be upon him, once transmitted these words directly from Allah Most High:

I have apportioned the opening Sura of the Glorious Quran between Me and My servants: their act of praising and My Response to their praise. When my servants affirm, "All praises flow to Allah, Lord of countless worlds, " Allah the Exalted responds" "My servants have praised Me." When the servant affirm, "the Most Merciful, the Most Loving," Allah responds: "My servants have intensely praised Me." When they affirm, "Sovereign of the Day of Judgement, " Allah responds: "My servants have glorified Me and taken complete refuge in Me." When they affirm, "You alone do we worship and from You alone do we seek help," Allah responds: "This level of praise remains a secret between Me and each of My servants, and they will truly receive what they ask for." When they pray, "Guide us on the straight path, the path of those upon whom You shower Your Favor, not the path of those who incur Divine Correction," Allah responds: "This level of praise belongs to My most intimate servants, and they will receive infinitely more than they ask."

*This hadith comes from the transmission of the intimate companion Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him.
