Narrated to us Qutaybah ibn Sa'id and Zuhayr ibn Harb — and the wording is that of Qutaybah — they said: Narrated to us Jarir, from al-A'mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I remember him in Myself. If he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a gathering better than theirs. If he draws near to Me by a handspan, I draw near to him by a cubit. If he draws near to Me by a cubit, I draw near to him by a fathom. And if he comes to Me walking, I come to him running."
