أَبِي صَالِحٍ , عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي ، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ يَذْكُرُنِي " .
" لَله أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ يَجِدُ ضَالَّتَهُ بِالْفَلَاةِ " , قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : أُرَاهُ ضَالَّتَهُ .
" وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا , وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا , فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ يَمْشِي أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ أُهَرْوِلُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says, "I deal with My servant according to his expectation of Me. Whenever My servant remembers Me, I am with him. Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than any one of you who finds his lost belongings (or mount) in the wilderness. And whoever comes near Me by a handspan, I come near him by a cubit; and if he comes near Me by a cubit, I come near him by a fathom; and if he comes to Me walking, I come to him running."
