📜 The Prophet ﷺ said:

Allāh, the Most High said: 'I am to my slave as he thinks of Me. If he has good thoughts of Me, then that is good for him, and if He has bad thoughts (of me) then that is bad for him.'

Sahīh al-Jām'i 4315


📜 The Prophet ﷺ said that Allāh says,

“I am [towards my servant] as my servant’s expectation of Me and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in his self, I will remember Him in My self, and if he remembers me in a gathering, I will remember him in a better gathering. If he advances towards Me [in obedience] by a handspan, I advance towards him [with acceptance and reward] by a forearm’s length, and if he advances towards Me [in obedience] by a forearm’s length, I advance towards Him [with acceptance and reward] by an extended arm’s length. And if he comes to me [in obedience] walking, I come to him [with acceptance and reward] hurriedly. And whoever met me with an earth-full of sin, I would meet him with its like in forgiveness.”
