THE MERCY OF ALLAH

87

“Adhere strictly to the faith and be steadfast; remember that no one can achieve salvation through his conduct. Someone asked: ‘Not even you, O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him?’ He replied: ‘Nor I, unless Allah covers me with His Mercy and Grace.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
