أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَحْطَبَةَ بْنِ مَرْزُوقٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَيْثُ يَذْكُرُنِي إِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي وَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلَأٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي مَلَأٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْهُمْ وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا وَإِنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said: 'I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him wherever he remembers Me. If he remembers Me within himself, I remember him within Myself; and if he remembers Me in an assembly, I remember him in an assembly better than them. If he draws near to Me a handspan, I draw near to him an arm's length; and if he comes to Me walking, I come to him at speed.'"
