• عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ

  From Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

  ٱللَّهُ — Allah. The -u ending marks God as the subject of the blessing-verb before it. Verb first, then the named doer — the pattern runs through these chains.

  Allah, the Exalted, said: "O son of Adam! As long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.

  ٱللَّهُ — Allah. The -u marks God as the speaker. From here the quotation runs in God's own voice, so watch the verbs shift into first-person 'I'.
