Ḥaṣṣantukum bi-l-Ḥayyi-l-Qayyūmi-lladhī lā yamūtu abadā, wa dafa‘tu ‘ankumu-s-sū’a bi-Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāhi-l-‘Aliyyi-l-‘Aẓīm.
The Imam Abū Muḥammad al-Qāḍī Ḥusayn, one of our [Shāfi‘ī] colleagues, may Allah have mercy on him, stated in his book at-Ta‘līq fi-l-madhhab: “One of the Prophets, the blessings and peace of Allah be upon them all, looked at his people one day and thought them to be many. [The sight of them] pleased him, but seventy thousand of them died at that moment. So Allah 
revealed to him, ‘You gave them “the eye”. If only when you eyed them you had safeguarded them, they would not have perished.’ He said, ‘What should I safeguard them with?’ Allah then revealed to him, ‘Say: I safeguard you by the Living, the Eternally Self-Subsistent Who never dies, and I repel evil from you by means of “There is no power nor strength but by Allah, the All-High, the Immense”.’”
