'ILM and Dhikr - Virtues of Remembering Allah

٧٣- عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَؓ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالي: أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ إِذَا ذَكَرَنِي فَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي وَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلأٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فيِ مَلأٍ خَيْرٍ مِّنْهُمْ وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعاً وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعاً تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعاً وَإِنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً.

رواه البخاري باب قول الله تعالي ويحذركم الله نفسه:٦/٢٦٩٤, طبع دار ابن كثير بيروت


73. Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu reports that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in a Hadith Qudsi narrated that Allah Ta'ala says:

 I treat My slave according to his expectations from Me. I am with him when he remembers Me; 
and if he remembers Me in his heart, I remember him in My heart; 
and if he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a better and nobler gathering (of angels).
 If he comes closer to Me by one span, I go closer to him an arm's length;
 if he comes towards Me an arm's length, I go towards him two-arm's length; 
and if he comes to Me walking, I run to him.

(Bukhari)

Note: When a person strives to get closer to Allah through good deeds, then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala turns towards His slave with much more attention, mercy and help.
