What is the authenticity of the saying: "Strive, My servant, and I will strive with you"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The saying: "Strive, My servant, and I shall strive with you," is not an authentic sacred (Hadith Qudsi). If the intention is that Allah aids those who strive and exert effort in obeying Him, then this meaning is correct, based on Allah's saying: (And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways) and the Hadith: "Allah is in the aid of His servant as long as the servant is in the aid of his brother."
