Hadith 30:2228

'Affan narrated to us, he said: 'Abd al-Wahid narrated to us, he said: Sulayman al-A'mash narrated to us, he said: Abu Salih narrated to us, he said: I heard Abu Hurayrah saying: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'I am as My servant expects Me to be, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a gathering better than it. And whoever draws near to Me by a span, I draw near to him by a cubit; and whoever draws near to Me by a cubit, I draw near to him by an arm's length; and whoever comes to Me walking, I come to him at a run.'"

حدثنا عفان، قال: حدثنا عبد الواحد، قال: حدثنا سليمان الأعمش، قال: حدثنا أبو صالح، قال: سمعت أبا هريرة، يقول: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " قال الله عز وجل: أنا عند ظن عبدي بي، وأنا معه حين يذكرني، إن ذكرني في نفسه، ذكرته في نفسي، وإن ذكرني في ملإ، ذكرته في ملإ خير منه، ومن تقرب إلي شبرا، تقربت إليه ذراعا، ومن تقرب إلي ذراعا، تقربت إليه باعا، ومن جاءني يمشي جئته هرولة "
