His saying: "Alif-Lam-Mim. Allah! None has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence." "The Ever-Living" is He who does not die. "The Sustainer of all existence" (Al-Qayyum); Al-Hasan said: It means: The One who oversees every soul regarding its deeds, until He recompenses it for them.
