between Myself and My servant, and My

servant shall have what he asks for.’ If he says,

(All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of existence.)

Allah says, `My servant has praised Me.’ When the servant says,

(The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.)

Allah says, `My servant has glorified Me.’ When he says,

(The Owner of the Day of Recompense.) Allah says, `My servant has

glorified Me,’ or `My servant has related all matters to Me.’ When he

says, (You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.)

Allah says, `This is between Me and My servant, and My servant

shall acquire what he sought.’ When he says,

(Guide us to the straight path. The way of those on whom You have

granted Your grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your anger,

nor of those who went astray), Allah says, `This is for My servant,

and My servant shall acquire what he asked for.’).”
