VIRTUES OF ZIKR

Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu anhu reports
that Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wasallam in a Hadith Qudsi narrated
that Allah Ta'ala says:

I treat My slaves according to his expectations from Me.
I am with him when he remembers Me;
and if he remembers Me in his heart,
I remember him in My heart;
and if he remembers Me in a gathering,
I remember him in a better and nobler gathering (of angels).
If he comes closer to Me by one span,
I go closer to him an arm's length;
if he comes towards Me an arm's length,
I go towards him two-arm's length;
and if he comes to Me walking,
I run to him.
