Fudayl on Tawhid: Only Allah can truly bring benefit, cause harm

Sari ibn al-Mughallis reported: Al-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Whoever fears Allah, no one can harm him. Whoever fears another besides Allah, no one can benefit him.”

عَنْ سَرِيّ بْن الْمُغَلِّسِ قال الْفُضَيْل بْن عِيَاض رحمه الله مَنْ خَافَ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَمَنْ خَافَ غَيْرَ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ أَحَدٌ
