This statement is not among the Qudsi hadiths from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor has it been narrated with a sound or weak chain of transmission. Rather, it is reported from Al-Fudayl ibn Iyad and Abu Sulayman Al-Darani. Abu Nu'aym transmitted it in "Hilyat al-Awliya" and others from Al-Fudayl, and Ibn Asakir transmitted it from Abu Sulayman Al-Darani. Such words are mentioned for admonition and reflection, and they are not the words of Allah or His Messenger, nor do they constitute independent legal proof.
