حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلَاءُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَن
ْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْعَيْنَانِ تَزْنِيَانِ وَاللِّسَانُ يَزْنِي وَالْيَدَانِ يَزْنِيَانِ وَالرِّجْلَانِ يَزْنِيَانِ يُحَقِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ أَوْ يُكَذِّبُهُ

English Translation
Sulayman narrated to us who (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that isma'il narrated to us who said: Al-'Ala' informed me, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Allah عز وجل says: I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me within himself, I remember him within Myself. If he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a gathering better than it. If he draws near to Me a hand's span, I draw near to him an arm's length. If he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. If he comes to Me walking, I come to him running.'
