Virtue of those who remember Allah
Hadith 824
أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ، وَمَنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ فِي مَلَإِ ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي مَلَإِ هُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَلَإِ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ فِيهِمْ، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعَا، وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعَا تَقَرَّبَ مِنْهُ بَاعَا، وَمَنْ أَتَاهُ يَمْشِي أَتَاهُ هَرْوَلَةً، وَمَنْ أَتَاهُ هَرْوَلَةً أَتَاهُ سَعْيًا)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "Whoever remembers Allah within himself, Allah remembers him within Himself. Whoever remembers Allah in an assembly, Allah remembers him in an assembly better than the one in which he remembered Him. Whoever draws near to Him by a span, He draws near to him by a cubit. Whoever draws near to Him by a cubit, He draws near to him by two arm-lengths. Whoever comes to Him walking, He comes to him running. And whoever comes to Him running, He comes to him at speed."
