What is the meaning of the hadith qudsi "أنا والجن والإنس", and how does it continue?
The "Indeed, I and the jinn and humans are engaged in a momentous affair: I create, yet others are worshipped; I provide, yet others are thanked. My good descends to My servants, while their evil ascends to Me. I endear Myself to them with blessings, yet they show their aversion to Me through disobedience" has a weak chain of transmission (sanad). Al-Ghazali explained that the Bestower of blessings is Allah alone, and the intermediaries are merely subservient to Him. Therefore, whoever believes that anyone other than Allah has a hand in a blessing has committed (associating partners with Allah). The perfection of gratitude is to see the bestower as like a pen in the hand of a writer, for Allah is the One who controls the action.
