On the authority of Abu Dar al-Afri, may God be pleased with him, he said:
▫ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
Almighty God said: My servants, you are all hungry except those whom I have fed, so ask me for food and I will feed you. O my servants, you are all naked except those whom I have clothed, so ask me for clothes and I will clothe you. O my servant, you sin day and night, and I ask you for all sins, and I ask you.
Narrated by Muslim 2,577.
The hadith establishes the source of man's constant need for God Almighty in matters of his sustenance (food and clothing) and in matters of his religion (guidance and forgiveness).
She urges the servants to turn to God in supplication and request (so ask me for food, then seek shelter from me, then ask me for forgiveness).
This shows the breadth of God Almighty's forgiveness, and that He grants forgiveness to those who seek His forgiveness day and night.
