Pearl of Wisdom

that Prophet Moses (AS) addressed Allah, saying, my Lord, guide me to an action the performance of which will earn me Your good pleasure.' So Allah revealed to him, ?O son of Amran, verily My pleasure lies in that which you will be averse to and you will not be able to endure it.' So Moses fell prostrate, weeping and cried out, my Lord! You have selected me to speak to when You have not spoken to any before me, and yet You do not guide me to that action by which I may earn Your pleasure!' So Allah revealed to him, 'Verily My pleasure lies in your pleasure with whatever I decree.'
