Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb narrated to us, both saying: Abu Mu‘awiyah narrated to us, al-A‘mash narrated to us, from ‘Amr ibn Murrah, from Abu ‘Ubaydah, from Abu Musa, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood among us and said five words: "Indeed Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, does not sleep, and it is not befitting for Him to sleep. He lowers the scale and raises it. The deed of the night is raised to Him before the deed of the day, and the deed of the day before the deed of the night. His veil is light — and in the narration of Abu Bakr: fire — if He were to remove it, the splendors of His Face would burn everything of His creation that His sight reaches." — And in the narration of Abu Bakr from al-A‘mash, he did not say "narrated to us."
