Gleanings — Paragraph 388
Source (Arabic)
وکلّما ینسب العباد بالعبودیّة لاسمه المعبود أو ینسب المخلوق إلی إسمه الخالق هذا من فضله علیهم من دون استحقاقهم بذلک ویشهد بذلک کلّ موقن بصیرًا
Translation
The tie of servitude established between the worshiper and the adored One, between the creature and the Creator, should in itself be regarded as a token of His gracious favor unto men, and not as an indication of any merit they may possess. To this testifieth every true and discerning believer.
