Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 28160a
"يَقُولُ اللَّه -تَعَالَى-: أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِى بِى وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ يَذْكُرُنِى -وَاللَّه- للَّه أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ يَجِدُ ضَالَّتَهُ بِالْفَلَاةِ، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَىَّ شِبْرًا، تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلْيهِ ذِرَاعًا، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَى ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا، وإِذَا أَقْبَلَ إِلَىَّ يَمْشِى أَقْبَلتُ إِلَيْهِ أُهَرْوِلُ".

"Allah -Exalted is He- says: I am according to My servant's expectation of Me, and I am with him when he remembers Me. By Allah, Allah is more delighted at the repentance of His servant than any one of you who finds his lost camel in the desert. Whoever draws near to Me a span, I draw near to him a cubit; whoever draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a fathom; and when he comes to Me walking, I come to him running."
