وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ وَاحِدٌ بِمُنْجِيهِ عَمَلُهُ وَلَكِنْ سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا قَالُوا وَلَا أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلَا أَنَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ وَفَضْلٍ
English Translation
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No one's deeds will save him.' They said: 'Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Not even me, unless Allah encompasses me with His mercy. But be steadfast and strive to do what is right and come as close to perfection as you can.'
