This Hadith has been mentioned in the present chapter for the reason that it holds fear as well as hope. If one
remembers Allah in the meals, he can hope for the Pleasure of Allah. One should also bear in mind that it is He who
gives everything. If He likes, He can forefeit all those things or in spite of providing all the riches, deprive one of
hunger and thirst, as it does happen in certain diseases. May Allah protect us from such deprivations.

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"Allah, the Exalted, stretches
His Hand during the night so that those who commit sins by day may repent, and He stretches His Hand in the day
so that those who commit sins by night may repent. He keeps doing so until the sun rises from the West".
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has been mentioned before.
Allah's stretching of His Hands is one of His Attributes, and as Muslims we have to believe in this without
reasoning, as is the case with His other Attributes. This has been the stand of our pious predecessors (As-Salaf-us-
Salih). The process of acceptance of penitence by Allah will continue until the Day of Resurrection when the sun
will rise from the West and repenting or accepting Islam will not avail. Therefore, one should not make any delay in
penitence.
We must add here that, we must not name or qualify Allah except with what He or His Messenger (PBUH) has
named or qualified Him; without changing them or ignoring them completely or twisting the meanings or giving
resemblance to any created things:
"The Most Gracious (Allah) rose over the (Mighty) Throne"
. (20:5) above the seventh heaven; and He only
descends to the first (nearest) heaven during the day of `Arafah (Hajj, i.e., the 9th Dhul-Hijjah) and also during the
last third part of every night, as mentioned by the Prophet (PBUH), but He is with us by His Knowledge only, not in
His essence (Bi Dhatihi):
"There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer".
(42:11)
