Book 1, Chapter #192


al-Qaaseeaa: Warning about Satan, caution against vanity and other vices, his precedence in Islam

Passage #2

:928

الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي لَبِسَ الْعِزَّ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءَ، وَاخْتَارَهُمَا لنَفْسِهِ دُونَ خَلْقِهِ، وَجَعَلَهُمَا حِمىً وَحَرَماً عَلَى غَيْرِهِ، وَاصْطَفَاهُمَا لِجَلاَلِهِ

Praise be to Allāh who wears the apparel of Honour and Dignity and has chosen them for Himself instead of for His creation. He has made them inaccessible and unlawful for others. He has selected them for His own great self.
