The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that Allah said, "I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him whenever he remembers Me. By Allah, Allah rejoices more at the repentance of His servant than any of you would at finding his lost camel in the open desert. Whoever draws near to Me by a hand's span, I draw near to him by a forearm's length. Whoever draws near to Me by a forearm's length, I draw near to him by an arm's span. And when he comes to Me walking, I come to him at a swift pace."
