"قَالتْ بَنُو إِسْرائيلَ لِمُوسَى: هَلْ يصَلِّى رَبك؟ فَقَالا موسَى: اتَّقُوا الله يَا بَنِي إسْرَائيلَ فَقَال الله. يَا مُوسَى مَاذَا قال لَك قوْمُكَ؟ قَال: يَا ربِّ ما قَدْ عَلمتَ, قَالُوا: هَلْ يُصَلِّي رَبُّكَ؟ قَال: فَأخبِرهُمْ أن صَلاتِى عَلى عبَادي أن تسْبق رحْمَتي غضبي, وَلَوْلا ذْلِكَ لأهْلكْتُهُم".

"The Children of Israel said to Moses: Does your Lord pray? Moses said: Fear Allah, O Children of Israel. Then Allah said: O Moses, what did your people say to you? He said: O Lord, You already know. They said: Does your Lord pray? He said: Tell them that My prayer upon My servants is that My mercy precedes My anger, and had it not been for that, I would have destroyed them."
