It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says: O son of Adam! If you remember Me within yourself, I will remember you within Myself; if you remember Me in an assembly, I will remember you in an assembly better than yours; if you draw near to Me by a span, I will draw near to you by a cubit; if you draw near to Me by a cubit, I will draw near to you by the span of two outstretched arms; and if you come to Me walking, I will come to you running. Imam Qatadah said: Thus, Allah Almighty is quicker in granting forgiveness.
