"عَنْ عُمَيرِ بنِ عَبْدِ المَلِكِ قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا عَلِىُّ بنُ أَبِى طَالِبٍ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الكُوفَةِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ إِنْ لَمْ أَسْأَل النَّبِىَّ ﷺ ابْتَدَأَنِى وَإِنْ سَأَلْتُهُ عَن الخَبَرِ أَنْبَأَنِى، وَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِى عَنْ رَبِّهِ - ﷻ - قَالَ: يَقُولُ الله - ﷻ - وَارْتِفَاعِى فَوْقَ عَرْشِى مَا مِنْ أَهْلِ قَرْيَةٍ، وَلَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ وَلَا رَجلٍ بِبَادِيَةٍ كَانُوا عَلَى مَا كَرِهْتُ مِنْ مَعْصِيَتى ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلُوا عَنْهَا إَلَى مَا أَحْبَبْتُ مِنْ طَاعَتِى إِلَّا تَحَوَّلْتُ لَهُمْ عَمَّا يَكْرَهُونَ مِنْ عَذَابِى إِلَى مَا يُحبُّونَ مِنْ رَحْمَتِى، وَمَا مِن أَهْلِ قَرْيَةٍ وَلا أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ وَلَا رَجُلٍ بِبَادِيَةٍ كَانُوا عَلَى مَا أَحْبَبْتُ مِنْ طَاعَتِى ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلُوا عَنْهَا إِلَى مَا كَرِهْتُ مِنْ مَعْصِيَتِى إِلَّا تَحَوَّلْتُ لَهُمْ عَمَّا يُحِبُّونَ مِنْ رَحْمَتِى إِلَى ما يَكْرَهُونَ مِنْ غَضَبِى ".

"From 'Umayr ibn 'Abd al-Malik, he said: 'Ali ibn Abi Talib addressed us from the pulpit of Kufah, saying: 'If I did not ask the Prophet ﷺ, he would begin with me, and if I asked him about a report, he would inform me. He narrated to me from his Lord ﷻ: Allah ﷻ says: And My exaltedness is above My Throne. No people of a town, nor people of a house, nor a man in the desert, who were upon what I dislike of My disobedience and then turned from it to what I love of My obedience, but I will turn for them from what they dislike of My punishment to what they love of My mercy. And no people of a town, nor people of a house, nor a man in the desert, who were upon what I love of My obedience and then turned from it to what I dislike of My disobedience, but I will turn for them from what they love of My mercy to what they dislike of My anger.'"
