Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, Allah the Exalted says: When My servant remembers Me, I am with him. My servant thinks of Me as he expects of Me, and I treat him accordingly. I am with him when he remembers Me; if he remembers Me within himself, I also remember him within Myself.
