3493. 'Aishah narrated: "I was sleeping at the side of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then I lost him during the night. So I felt around for him, and my hand fell upon his feet while he was prostrating, and he was saying: 'I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your pardon from Your punishment. I cannot count Your praises. You are as You have praised Yourself (A'ūduhu Biriḍāka Min Sakhaṭika Wa Bi-Mu'āfatika Min 'Uqūbatika, Lā Uḥṣī Thanā'an 'Alaika Anta Kamā Athnaita 'Alā Nafsik)."(Saḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Saḥīḥ, and it has been related through more than one route from 'Aishah.
Qutaibah narrated to us (saying): Al-Laith reported to us similarly, from Yahyā bin Sa'eed with this chain, and he added to it: "I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot count Your praises (Wa A'ūdhu Bika Minka Lā Uhṣī Thanā'an 'Alaik)."

Commentary
Only Allāh ﷻ will forgive and save from His displeasure and anger. It means only Allāh ﷻ can pardon from His own displeasure. Everything is in His control and no one else can do anything against His will.
