Among the statements often used in the realm of ethics and mysticism is "My servant, obey Me and I will make you like Myself." According to the essence of this phrase, in exchange for obedience to God, a person obtains the power of "Kun Fayakun" (Be, and it is) like God. This study analytically examines the documentation, hadith jurisprudence, and theological criticism of the content of this statement. The findings indicate that there is no significant source that attributes the phrase "My servant, obey Me..." to any of the Imams (peace be upon them). The presence of certain phrases such as "in some books" and "Dhu'l-Nun said" reinforces the hypothesis that this phrase entered Shia narrations from non-original Islamic sources with a Sufi and exaggerated flavor. From the eighth century onwards, the figure accused of exaggeration, such as Hafiz Rajab Bursi, is the one to whom this phrase has been most frequently attributed in later periods. Observations in hadith jurisprudence indicate the instability of the text, its contradiction with the verse "There is nothing like unto Him," and its inconsistency with monotheistic literature and the sayings of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). Based on theological criticism and according to the narrations of the Imams (peace be upon them), the concept of command or "Kun Fayakun" (creation of something out of nothing) is exclusively attributed to God in such a way that, according to arguments and evidence, this capability is not subject to ambiguity, and "Kun Fayakun" is not something that can be given so that it could be obtained through the obedience of the servant. God, based on His will, without any matter, example, or precedent, brings creatures into existence with the command "Be," and they become "and it is."
